Kansas split two games with Houston last season, including a 78-65 win as an underdog. The Jayhawks are seventh in the 16-team Big 12 in scoring and fourth in shooting (.474), plus they're eighth nationally in assists (17.7 per game). The defense is sixth in points given up in the Big 12, No. 1 in blocked shots, and second in field goal shooting allowed (.392). Houston has failed to cover two of its last three as chalk of -11.5 and -13.5, part of a 4-5 spread run. These teams met in January in a game that went into double overtime and this shapes up as a close one. Play Kansas.
