Betting on the Kansas State Wildcats (odds)
Record: 17-2 Overall/6-1 Conference
Kansas State is really in a groove right now. After taking down a giant in the form of the Kansas Jayhawks at home in an 83-82 overtime win on Jan. 17th, the Wildcats defeated the Texas Tech Red Raiders, also in Manhattan, last Saturday, 68-58. Markquis Nowell spearheaded the Wildcats with 23 points to go with eight rebounds and five assists versus Texas Tech. Keyontae Johnson had a double-double of 15 points and 11 rebounds. Nowell and Johnson are the top two guys for Kansas State, which is averaging 78.4 points per game this season. The Wildcats’ offense is predicated on great ball movement, as they are averaging 18.3 assists per game – sixth-best in the nation.
Kansas State is 8-2 against the spread in its last 10 games overall.
Betting on the Iowa State Cyclones (odds)
Record: 14-4 Overall/5-2 Conference
Iowa State is ready to bounce back after absorbing a 61-69 road loss to the Oklahoma State Cowboys last Saturday. It’s the Cyclones’ second loss in three games and fourth overall this season. Iowa State, which has not lost two games in a row this season to date, had a 10-point lead by the end of the first half versus the Cowboys but could not sustain its form in the final 20 minutes of the contest. Caleb Grill, who is third on the team with 10.3 points per game, could be questionable to play this Tuesday due to a back injury that forced him to sit out most of the second half of the Oklahoma State meeting. Nevertheless, the Cyclones still have Jaren Holmes and Gabe Kalscheur, who are averaging 12.9 and 12.8 points this season, respectively.
Iowa State is 7-3 against the spread in its last 10 games overall.
Writer’s Prediction
Kansas State wins, 69-66.
