Kansas vs. Colorado Predictions Today: Monday, 2/24

Kansas made a strong comeback with a decisive victory over Oklahoma State after a tough loss to BYU. On the other hand, Colorado has been inconsistent this season but has managed to cover the spread in five consecutive games, with three of those at home.

With both teams eager to prove themselves, let's dive into the odds, key matchups and top Kansas vs. Colorado predictions for this exciting Big 12 matchup.

 

 

 

Kansas Jayhawks: Getting Back On Track

Kansas has had a mixed performance recently but showed improvement with a strong 96-64 victory against Oklahoma State. Although they faced an embarrassing 57-91 defeat at BYU, the Jayhawks have mainly stayed competitive due to their solid defense.

They rank 13th in opponent field goal percentage at 39.0% and 18th in opponent three-point percentage at 29.9%, demonstrating their ability to limit scoring. Offensively, Hunter Dickinson leads the team with 16.3 points and 9.7 rebounds per game, while Zeke Mayo's 40.6% shooting from beyond the arc has been a highlight.

Kansas has had trouble covering spreads, missing in five of their last seven games, but they’ve tended to easily defeat weaker teams.

 

 

 

Colorado Buffaloes: Not Great Overall, But Good At Home

Colorado has had a tough season, with a record below .500 in conference games, but they have played much better at home. Their recent win against Baylor (76-74) shows they can still challenge strong teams.

Although they rank low in points per game (70.4), the Buffaloes have a good free-throw percentage of 75.6% (63rd in the nation), which helps them stay close in games. Guard Julian Hammond leads the team in scoring with 12.9 points per game, while Andrej Jakimovski contributes 10.2 points and 4.5 rebounds per game.

Defensively, Colorado has had issues, giving up 72.0 points per game, but they have been competitive, covering the spread in four of their last five matches.

#23 Kansas vs. Colorado Player Props: Hunter Dickinson O8.5 Rebounds (-137 at Caesars)

We're shying away from the spread and total for this game because both teams have been playing rather unpredictably lately. Instead, our Kansas vs. Colorado predictions will focus on a player prop. Hunter Dickinson has been a beast on the boards this season, averaging 9.7 rebounds per game and often exceeding that number.

In his last five games, he's gone over 8.5 rebounds in four of them, including a huge 14-rebound effort against BYU. His height will be a big advantage in this matchup against Colorado, who struggles with rebounding (averaging 31.6 per game, ranked 213th). Colorado's frontcourt is relatively small, with only one player over 6'9" averaging 18+ minutes per game.

At 7'2", Dickinson should have plenty of chances to dominate the paint and grab rebounds against a team that can't physically match him. In their last game on February 11, he pulled down nine rebounds, and with Kansas aiming to assert their presence inside, he's likely to have another great rebounding game.

Considering his recent performance, the matchup advantages and Colorado's issues with rebounding, betting on Dickinson to get over 8.5 rebounds (-137 at Caesars) looks like it’ll be our best bet for Kansas vs. Colorado predictions today.
