Hoops Preview: OSU Hosts No. 3 Kansas with NCAA Tournament Hopes Dwindling

As fun as a weekend in the SEC was for the Cowboys, they quickly return to Big 12 play against the conference’s blue blood.

After breaking its six-game losing streak against Texas A&M on Saturday, Oklahoma State hosts No. 3 Kansas in a big Monday matchup in Gallagher-Iba Arena. The Cowboys still have an outside shot of making the NCAA Tournament (they made it in Brad Underwood’s season after an 0-6 conference start), but the Big 12 is particularly unforgiving this season.

Kansas is the No. 1 team in the country according to KenPom’s adjusted efficiency margin, and the Big 12 has three teams in the top six of that ranking.
