This game doesn't mean much for Kansas other than pride and rivalry. The Jayhawks have already locked up the No. 1 seed in the Big 12 tournament and they've also probably already locked up a No. 1 seed in the NCAA Basketball Betting tournament, regardless of what happens in the Big 12 tournament. Missouri is probably safe as an at-large bid in the NCAA tournament but this victory would certainly lock up a spot for the Tigers and give them a better seed. Jayhawks are listed as 3-point favorites versus the Tigers at Bodog Sportsbook. Bill Self's Jayhawks have gone an impressive 14-1 in league play thus far, but didn't clinch the outright conference crown until Wednesday's 82-65 win over fifth-ranked Kansas State. The win put some distance between Kansas and its only league loss of the season, an 85-77 setback at Oklahoma State last weekend. The Tigers are 10-5 in Big 12 action and have won four of their last five games, including a hard-fought 69-67 overtime affair at Iowa State on Tuesday. This is the 273rd all-time meeting between these two longtime rivals, with Kansas holding a 168-94 series college basketball betting advantage. The Jayhawks are looking for the regular-season sweep after posting a rather easy 84-65 win in Lawrence back on January 25th.
