📈 Kansas Recent Form (Context for Feb 14 Game)
Kansas enters the matchup after a massive upset of No. 1 Arizona, winning 82–78 despite missing star freshman Darryn Peterson due to illness.
This shows:
-
Kansas can win without its leading scorer
-
Strong late‑game execution
-
Defensive resilience against elite offenses
- This will be an amazing game in the big 12 that has some serious post-season considerations.
- Kansas is coming off of their biggest win this year beating number one Arizona at home without their stud NBA future top pick in Darryn Peterson.
- Most people will think that this is a good thing and they may just be better. I am not so sure about that. Earlier this week, Arizona did not play their best game at the Phog, and Kansas played lights out.
- I do not like the situation with Peterson taking games off even if we has sick against the Cats.
- Iowa State is coming off of their worst game in a loss at TCU. 17 turnovers and losing the rebounding battle did them in. This isn’t normal for the Clones and I see a huge bounce back spot here.
- Iowa State got smoked by Kansas earlier this year at the Phog. I can guarantee that the Clonen’s have been thinking about that.
- Kansas is coming off of that win and they are now in a huge let down spot. Kansas ranks 333rd in away/home splits on Haslametrics. They only shoot 51% effective FG% away from home. Iowa State shoots 61.4% at home. I think the Clones get it right and win by margin here.
Iowa State -4 – 2.5 stars
Purdue vs Iowa +2.5 O/U 142.5
- This is a huge big 10 game in a similar situation as Kansas and Iowa State. Iowa is coming off of a huge bad loss at Maryland, while Purdue is coming off of a defining win at Nebraska.
- My big problem with Iowa is that they have been a bully. They smoke the teams that have issues, and they choke when facing the better teams. I cannot quite trust that even though they are in a big spot against Purdue.
- Looking at the numbers, these teams are very identical. They both play quite slow, and they both have very efficient offenses.
- I think that pace is going to play a big factor in this game. These teams could score a lot of points even on few possessions.
- Believe it or not, I think that this game will get bet to the under, and this number will crash down far enough where an over may make some sense.
- Both of these teams may look good on defense, but both rank 132nd or worse in opponent effective FG%.
- Based on pure efficiency, let’s take an over 140
Over 142.5 – 1.5 stars
