KU vs Houston Prediction & Picks - NCAA Men
by Bill Christy | in NCAA Men Picks
In a game that many believed would be deicing the winner of the Big 12 this season, the #4 Houston Cougars (25-4) will host the Kansas Jayhawks (19-10). However, Kansas has played themselves out of the Big 12 title contention having gone just 10-8 in conference play. The Cougars have already clinched the title as they lead Arizona by 4 games with just 2 to play. The Cougars are on an 8-game winning streak that include wins over #13 Arizona on the road, #8 Iowa State, and a revenge win over #10 Texas Tech on the road. Houston is proving that they can win big games on the road late in the season which should bode well for them come tourney time. On the flip side, the Kansas Jayhawks have been a tremendous letdown all year. They have lost 3 of their last 5 games with 2 of those losses coming against unranked teams. After their latest loss, coach Bill Self released a statement about their recently play that pretty much fell flat with the public. Kansas will get no sympathy from college basketball fans and certainly not from the Jayhawk faithful. The roster is strong on paper but something continues to get lost in translation when they get on the floor.Limited Offer. Currently at DraftKings

Our KU vs Houston Prediction
Prior to looking at the spread for this game, I was all set to make a play on the Jayhawks. I expected to see a spread between 4 and 6 points but the fact that oddsmakers have made the Cougars nearly a double-digit favorite here, leads us to believe that this Kansas team is cooked. Houston on senior night with a chance to put a dagger in the heart of Kansas is something that will surely be motivating to them. Houston will use their 3rd best defense in the country to stifle the mediocre offense of the Jayhawks in route to another cover.
Our prediction for Houston Cougars vs Kansas Jayhawks:Houston -9.5
