This is a Big 12 rivalry battle and Kansas State will not get into an up-tempo game. Kansas State has won seven in a row allowing 62 or fewer points six times. Kansas State won its seventh straight, 65-62 over Texas on Friday. The Wildcats connected on just 36.2 percent (17-of-47) from the field, including 25 percent (5-of-20) from three-point range, but won with great defense again. The Wildcats are among the national leaders in points against (58.8 ppg), field-goal percentage defense (37.7 percent) and turnovers forced (16.1). And speaking of great defense, host Kansas can play any style. Kansas has a +6.5 rebound margin on the season, 7.4 steals and 5.7 blocked shots per game. Kansas is 16-6-1 UNDER the total against a team with a winning percentage above .600 and this shapes up as a defensive rivalry duel. Take the UNDER in this one.
