The Kansas Jayhawks have won all seven prior meetings with the Kansas State Wildcats when facing off in the Big 12 Conference Tournament, which can't be ignored when making your college basketball picks Saturday.

Sports bettors will find that the Jayhawks are four-point neutral-site favorites in the NCAA basketball odds (courtesy of SBR Forum), while the total sits at 132 in the market.

Let's take a closer look at the third installment of the Sunflower Showdown this season, while offering up an against-the-pick along the way.
