Sat. Feb. 7 1:30PM EST

Spread: Oklahoma -21

Backcourt Advantage: Oklahoma

Frontcourt Advantage: Oklahoma

Oklahoma State (14-7, 3-4) at Kansas (18-4, 7-0)

Sat. Feb. 7 3:30PM EST

Spread: Kansas -12

Backcourt Advantage: Even

Momentum: Kansas

Bottom Line: Kansas should win, but this is still a rebuilding year and 12 points is too much to give to a run-and-gun Cowboys team.

Shaun's Pick: Oklahoma State +12

Sat. Feb 7. 6:00PM EST

Spread: Missouri -12

Bottom Line: All signs point to a Missouri romp, but I think Iowa State will hang with them at home.

Shaun's Pick: Iowa State +12

Baylor (15-7, 3-5) at Texas Tech (11-11, 1-6)

Sat. Feb. 7 8:00PM EST

Spread: Baylor -4.5

Backcourt Advantage: Baylor
