Kansas at Kansas State
Where: Fred Bramlage Coliseum, Manhatten, KS
When: Tuesday 11th Feb, 1:00pm Live on ESPN
We take a look at rivalry week with Kansas Jayhawks vs Kansas State Wildcats. The Jayhawks gave the Wildcats a hiding back on the 12th January 86-60. Today will be a different story as the Wildcats are a different beast on their home court. They have won their last 12 at home including three wins against BIG-12 ranked opponents.
Kansas is favoured by 3.5 points. “It’s a trap”
If you’ve been following the high profile Kansas Jayhawks, like most people have been. You might be thinking “Kansas -3.5 vs an unranked opponent is a steal” be careful. If something looks too good to be true it usually is. Especially in the sports betting world. Kansas is coming off two good wins and now has to travel to a very hostile environment. Not to mention you will be always paying a premium with Kansas due to the high profile stars in Wiggins and Embiid.
In their recent matchup Kansas State shot a dreadful 9% from beyond the arc and had 10 turnovers. I just can’t see a repeat of these kinds of numbers from the wildcats in their own building.
Conclusion: Really like Kansas State +3.5. With revenge factor fresh in the mind and a home record that speaks for itself. Look for the Wildcats to attack Embiid early , which should put him in foul trouble and make it a very long night for the Jayhawks.
BET ON: Kansas State +3.5
