We like this Kansas State team in this spot. Kansas State has had its problems with high flying offensive teams, as indicated by losses to Xavier, Notre Dame and Oregon. All those teams put up 80+ per game, and have big-time scorers. Oklahoma can defend but Kansas State is right on that same level, especially against a half-court offensive team like Oklahoma. The Wildcats are tenacious on the boards with a +10.1 rebound margin, and could steal some easy ones inside. Neither of these teams are hitting over 68% from the line, however, the Wildcat's top five scorers are all over 71%, which could be worth a couple more here. Oklahoma may not have full focus for this one, as they have a monster game vs Kansas on Monday and they could get caught sleeping here. The Sooners are 1-7 ATS in their last eight vs Big 12 foes and Kansas State brings enough to this one to at the very least stay close, and has a chance to spring the upset.
