Why Oklahoma can cover

Their other four wins came by a combined 16 points, so Oklahoma generally keeps these games close. The Jayhawks are coming off a disappointing showing against UCF and have turned the ball over 18 times in each of their first two Big 12 games.
Oklahoma has racked up 36 assists on 50 made shots over the last two games, and it has six players averaging more than eight points per game.
