Prediction: Kansas Jayhawks

As good as the Missouri Tigers have been all season, they don’t have the depth and defensive prowess that allows the Jayhawks to be as successful as they are.

While the teams split their meetings this season, it will be Kansas squeezing out the win in this rubber match for the Big 12 Conference Tournament Title.
