Kansas State @ OKLAHOMA STATE
K-State +9 -106 over OKLAHOMA STATE
The Wildcats are probably in. They have wins over Kansas, Oklahoma, Iowa State and Texas, they have 10 wins in the conference and they also have 20 wins overall. What K-State doesn’t have is a signature road win and the committee usually likes to see one of those. We’re not saying that the Wildcats will be left out should they finish the regular season without a notable road victory but a win here would leave nothing to doubt. The oddsmakers may have this line a little too high because they must figure K-State is in while the Cowboys remain on the bubble.
For OSU to get in they have to defeat the Cyclones at Iowa State on Saturday. A win here combined with a loss at Iowa State and the Cowboys aren’t likely to get an at-large bid. A loss here combined with a win over Iowa State on Saturday and it would be very difficult for the committee to ignore them. The Cowboys took the first step in their quest to get in with a HUGE win over Kansas on Saturday night. Oklahoma State played with incredible intensity and fought back from being down by 10 with about eight minutes to go. Down the stretch of that game every possession was vital and the Cowboys celebrated and picked up more intensity with every made bucket and with every stop. When Marcus Smart grabbed a rebound with 14 seconds left and the Cowboys up seven, the Cowboys reacted like they had just won a championship. The fans reacted the same way after the game, as they flocked onto the court by the thousands. Coming back on one day’s rest and being asked to win by double digits against a quality club is a tall order, especially when you consider that the entire team, school and community is till celebrating. If K-State cares about this game, they may win it outright.
Our Pick
Kansas State +9 -106 (Risking 2.12 units - To Win: 2.00)
