Kansas Jayhawks at Missouri Tigers

Could this finally be the year? In what is the last meeting between Kansas and Missouri in Columbia in the Border War, it would be fitting for the Tigers to snap their five-game losing streak to Kansas at home before they bolt to the SEC. Missouri is undefeated at home with a 12-0 record and not that any more incentive was needed, for the first time in school history, ESPN's College Gameday will be making the trip to Columbia. This is going to be one crazy environment.

The Jayhawks responded with a big win over Oklahoma  following their loss at Iowa St. last Saturday. Kansas is still in first place in the Big XII with an 8-1 record but the real meat of the schedule is about to take place as the Jayhawks close the season with five of their last nine games taking place on the road to go along with tough home games against Missouri and Texas. Kansas is still the team to beat but we have yet to see how this young team performs in a tough environment.

Kansas did start the season 4-0 on the road but the first three games came against USC, Oklahoma and Texas Tech, not exactly murder's row and the fourth came in Austin in a tough environment but Texas has shown many times this season it is not ready for the big time because of its youth. The Tigers are 22-2 in their last 24 home games going back to the end of the 2009-10 season. Both losses have come against Kansas so it is safe to say that Missouri will be out for some payback.

Missouri is a very complete team. Overall, it leads the Big XII in scoring offense at 81.9 ppg, scoring margin at +18.2 ppg, free throw percentage at 77.8 percent, field goal percentage at 49.9 percent, assists with 16.14 apg, steals with 9.43 spg, turnover margin at +5.5 tpg, assist-turnover ratio at 1.54 and rebounding defense at 31.1 rpg. Also, the Tigers have been extremely efficient this season, averaging 1.13 points per field goal attempt which leads the Big XII by a big margin. 9* (680) Missouri Tigers

Kansas Jayhawks @ Kentucky Wildcats Monday April 2, 2012 9:20 pm
All of the pressure is on Kentucky and head coach John Calipari and while it has handled it very well so far, this is of a different magnitude. The Wildcats are one win away from a National Championship that they are expected to win and that has been the case all season long. I think ... read more

Ohio State Buckeyes @ Kansas Jayhawks Saturday March 31, 2012 8:49 pm
The linesmakers are have given the edge to Ohio St. in this matchup and the main reason for that is the road these two teams have taken to get here. The Buckeyes have covered three of their four tournament games with the only non-covering being by just a bucket. Kansas meanwhile ... read more

Louisville Cardinals @ Kentucky Wildcats Saturday March 31, 2012 6:09 pm
As tempting as these points look, they won't be enough for Louisville to cover against Kentucky, let alone win it outright. The Cardinals have put a very strong run together, similar to that of Connecticut from last season as they won four games in four days to capture the Big East ... read more

Minnesota Golden Gophers @ Washington Huskies Tuesday March 27, 2012 9:00 pm
Washington is showing that it is the class of the NIT and the number one seed it received was well deserved. The Huskies have cruised through its three games to get to the NIT Final Four and even though all of those took place at home, they will be just fine in this atmosphere. Washington ... read more

Pittsburgh Panthers @ Washington State Cougars Monday March 26, 2012 10:00 pm
Pittsburgh is coming off an ugly overtime win over Butler on the road to advance to the best-of-three finals in the CBI Tournament. I believe that was their final roadblock before winning this championship. The Panthers came into this tournament with a great attitude after a very ... read more

Florida Gators @ Louisville Cardinals Saturday March 24, 2012 4:30 pm
You have to give credit to Florida for the run it is having but there is no reason it should be favored here. The Gators are one of the two lower seeded teams that are favored Saturday and while Ohio St. is justified, Florida isn't. The Gators first two games came against lower seeded ... read more

Indiana University Hoosiers @ Kentucky Wildcats Friday March 23, 2012 9:45 pm
This one gets ugly. Kudos for Indiana and Tom Creen and the tremendous rebuilding job that Indiana went through this season but it comes to an end tonight. The Hoosiers were pretty fortunate to escape their last game against VCU as they committed 22 turnovers, which was a season ... read more

Florida Gators @ Marquette Golden Eagles Thursday March 22, 2012 10:17 pm
Florida has had a very easy time in getting into the Sweet 16 and it caught a very big break with Missouri going down against Norfolk St. The Gators have won their first two games by 26 and 34 points which is a rarity in this tournament, no matter the competition. The 30 ppg scoring ... read more

Nevada Wolf Pack @ Stanford Cardinal Wednesday March 21, 2012 9:00 pm
The Wolf Pack were an NCAA Tournament bubble team yet they only received one of the four number five seeds in the NIT and they have used that as motivation along the way. Now they are a win away from their first ever NIT Final Four and while the trip to New York has not been used ... read more
