Kansas State vs Arkansas-Pine Bluff Prediction
The Arkansas-Pine Bluff Golden Lions are doing a world tour of playing endless road games and getting their teeth kicked in, but at some point, those games have to pay off. Arkansas-Pine Bluff has played Missouri, Texas Tech, and USF, among others. The Kansas State Wildcats should be the next team to cruise, but they’ve also failed to cover 7 of their last 9 games, and this is a look-ahead spot with St. John’s on deck. Tons of points. Give me the Golden Lions and the buckets.
