Great matchup on Monday night between Kansas and Missouri, otherwise known as the Border War. The Jayhawks are 8-0 in the Big 12 for the first time since 2005, while Mizzou’s 7-2 start in the conference matches its best ever.
Missouri is a 4-point favorite for tonight’s game on WagerWeb.com.
The Tigers are unbeaten at home and 2-0 against ranked teams this year. In a 15-game home winning streak, Missouri is averaging 90.5 points per game. The Tigers’ average of margin of victory at home during that run is 28.5 ppg. But KU has won the past two meetings at Missouri and five in a row in this series overall. The Tigers have been held to less than 75 points in three of their last four games against Kansas at Columbia.
Mike Anderson appears to have Missouri turned around, as the team hasn’t appeared in the NCAA Tournament since 2002-2003. The Tigers have had a losing conference record each of the past four seasons. That will mark the first time since 2003 that KU and MU were both ranked coming into a Border War game.
“There’s a buzz about this game, more so than in the past,” Anderson said. “We’re in the hunt for a championship. This is a big game.”
The Tigers are led by senior forward DeMarre Carroll, the only player in the Big 12 to rank among the top 10 in scoring, rebounding, field-goal percentage and steals. He had a career-high 31 in Saturday’s win over Iowa State.
KU seems to go as point guard Sherron Collins goes. In KU’s four losses, Collins has hit 35 percent of his shots and 31 percent of his three-pointers. In the 19 victories, he has made 45 percent of his field-goal attempts, 39 percent of his three-pointers.
