Kansas State vs Arizona State Prediction 2/23/25 College Basketball Picks Today

In this article, we will formulate a Kansas State vs Arizona State Prediction for this college basketball game on Sunday,  February 23rd, at the Bramlage Coliseum.  Let’s take a look at the Kansas State Wildcats vs Arizona State Sun Devils pick. 

Kansas State Keeps Struggling

Kansas State is suddenly struggling again while losing two games in a row. A couple of weeks ago, they had shown some signs of life, but now they are back to their terrible ways. Two games ago against BYU, they lost 80-65; in the last game against Utah, they lost 74-69. The defense gave up 42 points in the second half against Utah to get knocked off. Brendan Hausen had a strong game, putting up 17 points, two rebounds, and one assist. Kansas State shot 44 percent from deep, but it wasn’t enough. 

Kansas State has a 13-13 overall record, and at home, they have gone 9-3. The Wildcats are averaging 73.2 points, but their defense hasn’t been good enough. If the defense could make a few more stops every game, this might be a whole different season for the Wildcats. Kansas State also paid Coleman Hawkins way too much money to be the fourth-leading scorer. David N’Guessan is averaging 12.6 points while shooting 63.3 percent from the field. 

Why Kansas State Will Beat Arizona State

• Arizona State has lost each of its last six games against the Big 12 Conference.
• Kansas State has won 25 of its last 29 games at Fred Bramlage Coliseum against non-AP-ranked opponents.
• Arizona State has lost the first half in each of its last four games against non-AP-ranked opponents.

Arizona State is Ice Cold

Arizona State is ice-cold heading into this game, and they have lost six games in a row. Two games ago against TCU, they lost 74-70; in the last game against Houston, they lost 80-65. At halftime they were down 47-31 and the second half they couldn’t bounce back. Arizona State hit 8 of their 22 shots from deep, and they need to lean on the three-point shooting in this game. Alston Mason put up 26 points, three rebounds, and one assist. 

There might not have been many expectations surrounding the Arizona State team, but not many expected them to be this awful. With a 12-14 record, there have to be some questions about what type of changes need to be made after this season. The Sun Devils can score, but they have little interest in playing defense. Arizona State averages 74 points, while its defense gives up 74.4 points per game. BJ Freeman is averaging 13.7 points while shooting 42.1 percent from the field. 

Why Arizona State Will Beat Kansas State 

• Kansas State has lost four of its last five games following a road loss.

Kansas State vs Arizona State Prediction

Is Arizona State very good on the road? Not at all, sitting 2-6 straight up. But what has Kansas State done to want to lay this type of number with them? The biggest issue for Kansas State all season has been the defense, and the offense of the Wildcats is a strength. Arizona State averages 74 points per game, and they will find the offensive successful. Arizona State is 5-0 against the spread in their last five games following a double-digit loss at home. Coleman Hawkins is going to have another bad game, and the lack of scoring will be a problem. Kansas State also won’t play enough defense to pull away. Back Arizona State against the spread.
