BYU vs Kansas State Prediction 

Kansas State comes into this matchup with just a 7-6 conference record, but they have been one of the best stories in the country over the last few weeks. The Wildcats have wins over Arizona, Kansas, Iowa State and West Virginia in their last six games, all of whom were ranked at the time. Kansas State is shooting 45.7% from the field and they have scored 80+ points in three of their last five games. BYU has lost two of their last three games and they have allowed 75+ points in four of their last five games. The Cougars are shooting 48% from the field this year and they should have a decent rebounding advantage here. I know Kansas State can’t continue this strong play forever, but I have to take the points with how well they are playing right now.
