Arizona vs Kansas Prediction & Betting Pick | College Basketball February 9, 2026

📅 Date: Monday, February 9, 2026
🕖 Time: 9:00 PM EST
🏟️ Venue: Allen Fieldhouse - Lawrence, KS

Arizona walks into Allen Fieldhouse as the undefeated No. 1 team in the country, and they’re playing like a group that knows exactly who they are. Twenty‑three games, zero losses, and they just beat Oklahoma State by nearly 40. That’s not just dominance — that’s a team peaking in February.

Their offense is a machine right now. Arizona is putting up 89.5 points per game on 52% shooting, and they’re doing it with balance. Brayden Burries leads them at 15.3 PPG, Koa Peat adds 14.8, and Jaden Bradley chips in 13.9 while running the show with 4.5 assists. They don’t rely on one guy to bail them out.

Defensively, they’re just as sharp. Holding opponents to 67.6 PPG while playing at this pace is no small feat. Tobi Owaka has been huge on the glass with 9.8 rebounds, giving Arizona second‑chance opportunities while limiting them for everyone else.

Kansas, meanwhile, is playing some of their best basketball of the season. They’re 18‑5, ranked 11th, and coming off a solid win over Utah. Allen Fieldhouse is always a tough place to walk into, and the Jayhawks have the firepower to make this interesting.

Offensively, Kansas is steady at 78.1 PPG on 48% shooting, and they’ve got multiple guys who can hurt you. Tre White and Flory Bidunga both average 14.5, with Bidunga also pulling down 8.9 boards. Melvin Council Jr. adds 13.8, and when Darryn Peterson plays, he’s been electric at 21.1 PPG.

Defensively, Kansas mirrors Arizona more than people realize. They’re holding teams to 67.3 PPG, contesting shots, and forcing opponents into tough possessions. This isn’t a soft matchup — Arizona will have to earn it.

But here’s where the separation shows: Arizona has more ways to score late in games. Their spacing, their depth, and their ability to create mismatches in the half court give them an edge when things tighten up. Kansas can punch back, but Arizona has the cleaner offensive profile.

Kansas will absolutely ride the home crowd early. They’ll throw the first punch, maybe even the second. But Arizona has been in these environments all season, and every time they’ve responded with poise. That’s what elite teams do.

When this game gets into the final eight minutes, Arizona’s offensive versatility becomes the difference. They can score inside, they can score off the bounce, and they can score in transition. Kansas has answers — just not as many.
