Pick

I’m sticking with Kansas State here. The Wildcats are simply the better team while Texas Tech is not only the worst team in the Big 12, but they will likely be without one of their top scorers and ball handlers in Pop Isaacs. K-State’s had solid showings on the road all year long, and getting them at this kind of number feels like a gift. Give me the Wildcats here.
