Kansas State vs. Kansas

Kansas State has a winning record and had to play last night, so they won't want to get into a running game with rival Kansas. The Jayhawks outlasted Oklahoma State 75-71 in a first-round matchup Wednesday. It was an up-tempo game, but that's not the style of Kansas State, eighth n the Big 12 in scoring, but third in points allowed. Kansas State is the worst three-point shooting team in the conference at .299%, but they are first at defending the three. Kansas State will be facing a ranked opponent for the 14th time this season and that included a great defensive effort in a win over second ranked Oklahoma (80-69) on February 6. They will slow the pace down and focus on defense to hang with the mighty Jayhawks, just like they did three weeks ago in a 72-63 Kansas win. Play Kansas State.
