Xavier has become a fixture in the NCAA Tournament, but this is not the vintage Xavier team as they have done a good job getting to the Sweet Sixteen. This is a rematch of a game played back in December where Kansas State ruled 71-56. They held the Musketeers to 29% shooting in that one and the outcome was never in doubt. Kansas St. pounded them off the glass and this is a team that was lost in the Big-12 as Kansas stole all the headlines along with Texas and their 18-0 start and a No. 1 ranking. This team lost three games to Kansas, but just four others, and is primed to contend for a slot in the final four. The Wildcats have run the table outside of the Big-12 where they are a perfect 8-0 ATS. They win and cover the games that they are supposed to as they are 16-4-1 ATS as a favorite in their last 21. I'll go with Kansas St. here.
