Nijel Pack leads the Wildcats in scoring with 16.6 PPG while Markquis Nowell has 11.8 PPG and a team-high 5.2 APG as well this season. Mark Smith also has 11 PPG along with a team-high 8.4 RPG to lead the Wildcats on the glass and to cap off the trio of double-digit scorers for Kansas State so far this season. As a team, Kansas State is averaging 67 PPG on 41.8% shooting from the field, 33.7% from three and 70.6% from the foul line while allowing 63.1 PPG on 40.7% shooting from the field and 26.9% from three this season.

Oklahoma State is 2-6 ATS in their last 8 road games and 3-11 ATS in their last 14 games overall while the over is 12-5 in their last 17 road games against a team with a winning home record.-16-2 ATS in their last 24 home games against a team with a losing road record and 1-4 ATS in their last 5 Wednesday games while the under is 4-0 in their last 4 games following a loss.

I get why the total is where it is, but to be honest, I think it’s still a bit too high. The side is a wash to me because it’s easy to make a case either way here, but I honestly think this is a first to 65 wins kind of game if we even get that high with how bad the offenses have been for both teams at times this season. Either way I think we’re prepping ourselves for a low-scoring battle here, so give me the under.
