Kansas has been unusually vulnerable on its home floor, but Senior Night and the dissipated pressure from claiming the Big 12 regular season for the 14th consecutive year has set up a double-digit win scenario. Texas will be thinned out by the likely absence of PF Mohamad Bamba (toe), whose 10.6 rebounds per game (12th-most in the nation) would be missed more than his 13 ppg output. G Eric Davis will be held out again because of possible involvement in recruiting antics. Shaka Smart has yet to direct a straight-up win over the Jayhawks in five tries as Longhorns coach and will come up empty again.
The Jayhawks still have plenty to play for here, as they can clinch the outright Big 12 title. I see a convincing win at home over the middling Longhorns. In my simulations, Kansas is covering 67 percent of the time. Lay the points.
