Some recent games in Stillwater:
1994: Kansas 59, Oklahoma State 63
1995: Kansas 69, Oklahoma State 79
2004: Kansas 60, Oklahoma State 80
2008: Kansas 60, Oklahoma State 61
2010: Kansas 77, Oklahoma State 85
2014: Kansas 65, Oklahoma State 72
2015: Kansas 62, Oklahoma State 67
2016: Kansas 67, Oklahoma State 86
2018: Kansas 64, Oklahoma State 82
I think I read somewhere that Stillwater is the toughest conference location
for Kansas. What I find interesting about the above is that the Jayhawks
pretty consistently score in the 60s in losing efforts. That 2010 game is a
bit of an outlier in this regard. The winning efforts are obviously better,
including a 90 point outpuring in 2017 after three consecutive years of
futility.
Our most optimistic prediction for this year is Colley's 7 points (I'm
ignoring Whitlock's 13 points, because he's still stuck on last season).
Second-most optimistic is the BPI at 4.4 points. The most reliable
prognosticators all have it in the 3 to 4 point range, and 74 to 70 is
the most common predicted score. RealTime is the pessimist, predicting
Kansas to lose by 10. Seven Overtimes is the only other prognosticator
with Kansas on the wrong side of the scoreboard, losing by 5 points.
Recall that RealTime tends to use a large home court advantage. That's
even less appropriate this season; Sagarin's home court advantage is
still under 2 points. And the Big 12 has had the road team win two-thirds
of the time in 24 conference games played so far this season, suggesting
a home court DISadvantage.
The average is 2.82 points in favor of Kansas, though with a scatter of
4.6 points. I've kept Whitlock in this case to offset RealTime, which is
why the scatter is so high.
Kansas game totals have been averaging 143.82 points, while Oklahoma State's
average total is 148.18, which average out to 146 points. That would make
the score Kansas 75, Oklahoma State 71 if you adopt a 4 point margin.
Kansas has played a number of close games this season. Then there have
been the blowouts, and both ways; easier on the cardiovascular system
and/or fingernails.
You'll need ESPN+ to watch this one.
Meanwhile, Baylor avoids playing another upper division opponent, at
least for the moment, because there are virus issues with the Mountaineers.
Baylor has already avoided Texas and Gonzaga so far this season. They've
jumped out to 3 conference road wins, but all against the bottom three
teams in the projected standings.

Kansas has the advantage in five of the eight offensive stats and in five
of the seven defensive categories.
Common Opponents
================
There are four common opponents, all in conference:
KU +29 TCU on road (+33 neutral court)
OSU -1 TCU at home ( -5 neutral court)
KU +34 OSU on road (+38 neutral court)
KU -25 UT at home (-29 neutral court)
OSU -3 UT on road ( +1 neutral court)
KU -34 OSU on road (-30 neutral court)
KU +1 TTU on road ( +5 neutral court)
OSU +5 TTU on road ( +9 neutral court)
KU -8 OSU on road ( -4 neutral court)
KU +14 WVU at home (+10 neutral court)
OSU -3 WVU at home ( -7 neutral court)
KU +13 OSU on road (+17 neutral court)
These four average 1.25 points in favor of Kansas, though with a large scatter.
If instead we use 2 points for the home court advantage, then the margin in favor
of Kansas increases to 3.25 points, which is remarkably consistent with the
predictions by Sagarin, Massey, Pomeroy, and Greenfield.
Players to Watch
================
most minutes Isaac Likekele (guard)
most points Cade Cunningham (guard)
most rebounds Isaac Likekele (guard)
most assists Cade Cunningham (guard)
most steals Bryce Williams (guard)
most blocks Cade Cunningham (guard)
most turnovers Cade Cunningham (guard)
most fouls Avery Anderson III (guard)
Guard Donovan Williams sat out the last game for unspecified reasons. Gaurd
Ferron Flavors Jr. didn't play in the last game due to a finger injury. Guard
Chris Harris Jr. is out for an unkown amoung of time. Forward Montreal Pena Jr.
has not been playing for personal reasons. Of course, as we saw with Oklahoma,
virus protocol can change the available roster on very short notice.
For Kansas, Garrett is back, and Bryce Thompson is day-to-day.
