Kansas State Wildcats vs Texas Longhorns prediction
The Kansas State Wildcats were competitive in the only meeting against Texas back in February, and they’re good enough defensively to consider in the underdog role. Kansas State should also have a decent showing fan wise with the game played at the T-Mobile Center. With that said, Texas ended the season strong with wins over Oklahoma, Oklahoma State and Texas Tech, and that momentum could carry over to the Big 12 Tournament. It’s been an up and down year for Texas, but the Longhorns may have figured things out over the last few weeks. I’ll lay the reasonable number.
