Bet Basketball Online – Kansas Visits Missouri in Final Weekend of Regular Season

March 5, 2011

The Kansas Jayhawks have been hovering around the top end of the rankings pretty much all season, and in their only moment at the top of the standings, they served up a loss to the KSU Wildcats which killed those of us that bet basketball online. Since that loss, Kansas has gone 4-0 SU but are an unsteady 2-2 ATS during that run. The Jayhawks will have to hope that their uneven road play doesn’t hamper them in their final game of the season.

Almost everything is riding on this matchup for Missouri, which is sitting on the bubble after losing decisively to Kansas State and Nebraska in its last two games. The No.22 Missouri Tigers are well behind Kansas and Texas in the Big 12 standings and don’t hold that much value as they’ve lost complete momentum down the stretch. Missouri has gone 0-2 SU and ATS in their last two games.

Marcus Denmon has been the staple of the Tigers offense this season, averaging 16.8 points per game, but he isn’t getting much help outside of that. Forward Lawrence Bowers is team’s second scoring option and has been unreliable in terms of consistency, so when you bet basketball online keep in mind that Missouri is streaky at best.

NCAAB Betting Trends:

Kansas is 8-14-1 ATS in last 23 games on the road

  • Kansas is 10-1 SU in last 11 games on the road
  • Kansas is 6-3 SU last 9 games when visiting Missouri
  • Missouri is 5-0 SU last 5 home games
  • Missouri is 0-5 ATS in last 5 games against Kansas

It should also unnerve folks that Missouri is an atrocious 1-9 SU and 2-7-1 ATS when playing Kansas overall in their past ten meetings. They’ve been less than stellar at home, going just 3-6 SU in their last nine games against them and winless on the betting line in the five most recent matchups with the Jayhawks.

This is a must win game for the Jayhawks so don’t take them lightly. Unless Texas loses this weekend, they aren’t assured the Big 12 Title, especially since they lost to Texas at home this season. Don’t stray from the favorites when you bet basketball online in this one, especially since Kansas will want to make a big statement heading in to the post season tournaments.
