Bold Predictions for Kansas vs. Oklahoma State in Big 12 Matchup

Kansas Basketball — Revenge can be oh-so-very sweet sometimes (more like all the time). The Oklahoma State Cowboys will be looking for a dose of that against the Kansas Jayhawks this weekend.

Spoiler alert: Kansas fans are not going to like the last prediction.

5. Phil Forte III Goes Off

5. Phil Forte III Goes Off

Oklahoma State Basketball — Phil Forte III is the type of player who will make opposing teams pay when left open. He also just so happens to be leading the Cowboys in scoring. How does a 25-point (or so) game sound? That is what we are predicting Forte III to pull off against the mighty Jayhawks.

4. Kelly Oubre Jr. Stays Hot

4. Kelly Oubre Jr. Stays Hot

Kansas Basketball — Kelly Oubre Jr. is not leading his team in scoring, but he is coming off a 16-point performance. Expect the freshman to keep that double-digit scoring up against Oklahoma State, despite the fact that he is only averaging 8.5 PPG on the season.

3. Le’Bryan Nash Does His Part

3. Le’Bryan Nash Does His Part

Oklahoma State Basketball — Even if Forte III goes off, Oklahoma State will not be able to pull the upset off unless Le’Bryan Nash does his part, which he will in fact do. Although Nash will not be the hero in this game, he will still score around 16.9 points per game, which is his average.

2. Wayne Selden Jr. Keeps Kansas in the Game

2. Wayne Selden Jr. Keeps Kansas in the Game

Kansas Basketball — Wayne Selden Jr. is coming off a 20-point game against Iowa State. He scored 14 in the contest before. He may not be Kansas' leading scorer, but he will certainly do some damage in the scoring department once again.

1. The Cowboys Hand the Jayhawks Their Second Big 12 Loss

1. The Cowboys Hand the Jayhawks Their Second Big 12 Loss

Oklahoma State Basketball — Kansas will enter this game with an 8-1 Big 12 record. Oklahoma State enters with a Big 12 record of 5-5. Needless to say, the Cowboys need this victory. Luckily, they have two big-time scorers who will both come up big in this contest. It may not be expected, but that is why they call it a bold prediction. Oklahoma State wins at home.
