West Virginia at Kansas State

A pair of dynamite defensive teams square off here, and both are coached by guys who know the value of great defense. West Virginia has won 12 in a row, anchored by its strong rebounding and pressing defense. West Virginia is 47-29 UNDER the total against teams who make eight or more 3-point shots per game, as well as 49-31 UNDER after scoring 85+ points. Kansas State has won three in a row and seven of eight. Kansas State has only two losses this year, including a 61-54 loss to Tulsa, despite a strong defensive effort. The Wildcats are allowing 63.2 points per game this season. Kansas State coach Bruce Weber is 63-41 UNDER the total after a win by 15 points or more. The Wildcats lost to the Mountaineers 51-50 in the Big 12 semifinals last March, and this shapes up as another all-out defensive effort by both teams. Play this one to stay UNDER.
