The West Virginia Mountaineers and Kansas State Wildcats meet Saturday in college basketball action at the Bramlage Coliseum.

The West Virginia Mountaineers look for a win after splitting their last six games. The West Virginia Mountaineers are averaging 74.8 points on 41.9 percent shooting and allowing 69.3 points on 42.4 percent shooting. Miles McBride is averaging 15.4 points and 3.8 rebounds while Derek Culver is averaging 13.7 points and 10.6 rebounds. Sean McNeil is the third double-digit scorer and Tax Sherman is grabbing 1.4 rebounds. The West Virginia Mountaineers are shooting 33.1 percent from beyond the arc and 70.7 percent from the free thitem line. The West Virginia Mountaineers are allowing 30.1 percent shooting from deep and are grabbing 38.1 rebounds per game.

The Kansas State Wildcats look to snap a five-game losing streak. The Kansas State Wildcats are averaging 65.4 points on 43.4 percent shooting and allowing 71.2 points on 47.8 percent shooting. Mike McGuirl is averaging 12.4 points and 3.5 rebounds while DaJuan Gordon is averaging 9.8 points and 1.8 assists. Nijel Pack is dishing 4.1 assists and Selton Miguel is grabbing 1.9 rebounds. The Kansas State Wildcats are shooting 30.8 percent from beyond the arc and 67.2 percent from the free thitem line. The Kansas State Wildcats are allowing 36.9 percent shooting from deep and are grabbing 29.2 rebounds per game.

The Mountaineers are 3-9 ATS in their last 12 road games and 2-5 ATS in their last 7 games overall. The Wildcats are 7-20 ATS in their last 27 home games and 4-10 ATS in their last 14 games overall. The over is 4-1 in Mountaineers last 5 overall. The under is 5-2 in Wildcats last 7 overall. The road team is 5-2 ATS in the last 7 meetings.

The West Virginia Mountaineers have offensive issues at times, but there’s no doubt they’re the better team here and still get after it defensively. The Kansas State Wildcats seem to be getting worse each time they take the court during this five-game losing streak, and they’re not covering numbers despite being big underdogs a lot lately. Hard to find confidence in KSU right now. For me, it’s West Virginia and the chalk or pass.
