After placing second in last year's NCAA tournament, the Cougars (2-0 Big 12, 14-1 overall) have won eight consecutive, most recently a 69-65 home win Tuesday over No. 14 Texas Tech, and have a 15-game winning streak on the road (which ties a school record and is the nation's longest active streak of road victories).

Is this some sort of jinx? NFL Live's Ryan Clark, Dan Orlovsky, Marcus Spears, Mina Kimes and Hannah Storm were shook when they saw they all picked the same side in what should be a close game.
