In the NCAAB parquet, today's selection, with the two teams taking part in the Big 12 conference this afternoon. Two strong NCAA schools that have given enough derby in recent years at their conference.
12-1 the record of the OK State this year and a national ranking in 6 around, with 5-4 ats will only give this second this year's away match. 10-3 record the KState with ATS 6-4-1 this year, and 7-1 home record for this year. The program that both have so far is almost equivalent.
The Cowboys will enter today's match with two important absences. A few days ago they lost their main chiller for the Achilles tendon problem season, and 6 player Clark in the guard will not play today as he was caught with enough marijuana and is investigating his case. Not that the team has no other good and competent players but these absences will affect their depth.
The wildcats have found a form that is completed right now that starts the conference play. A series of 8 victories are among their win against 15 Gonzaga and recently against a good George Washignton. This winning streak is the biggest run of the current coach in Kansas State, which also shows the good job he does.
Basically we will have a battle between defense and attack, with Ok state being in the top 10 in scoring (86 μ.ο) while Kstate has kept 11 from 13 opponents who have faced this year under 65 points, with the numbers being even more impressive in the winning streak (51 points with passive, and 36% shooting).
Excellent tradition runs Kstate against the Cowboys, 4's wins in the last 5 between them, two streak, and 3 from the last 4 at their headquarters. The last two Kansas players were 1 / 5 / 2013-73-67, 3 / 3 / 2012-77-58, while last year they played in the Big 12 semifinal with KansasState defeating 68-57.
Both are good teams, a problem against Kansas State in recent years, the Cowboys who will have to find solutions for the absences and load the main ones with more time. Kstate is playing its best basketball this year at the moment and there is no way the team is not ready for tonight's premiere. The fact that the Cowboys score a lot and they are ranked makes them a favorite here, but I find a lot of points that the Wildcats get today in a match that I generally expect to close. I will buy half a point at Bet365, leaving 5.5.
