The current betting odds have Kansas State listed as a 6 point favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. Kansas State enters this game as a ranked team and they were going through a bit of a rough patch just a few weeks ago but they have started to get back on track lately. They are 22-7 overall this season and have been one of the better teams in the Big 12 this season with their 10-6 conference record. They have been a really good home team though as they are 15-1 in their home games and they have a lot of momentum on their side again with 3 wins in a row now. Oklahoma has been having a terrible season with their losing 14-15 record overall and they have been one of the worst teams in the Big 12 with their 4-12 conference record. They finally got a win in their last game to snap a long losing streak but they have still been terrible in their road games with a 2-7 road record and they are going to revert back to the same team they have been all season in this game. Kansas State has been a real threat all season and now that they are back on track winning games again, they are a real threat to do something in the NCAA Tournament so they will use this game as a way to get ready. The best way to place a bet here is on Kansas State to cover the spread in this game.

"Everybody has to follow Jalen's lead. Jalen has been the most consistent guy day in and day out. Offensively and defensively, he's by far our most consistent. We've got to have other guys following his lead." - Porter Moser on Jalen Hill in their games this season and the impact he is having. 

"Any time you get a win, it's satisfying, and I know they're fired up because we're going to Marble Slab. Road dubs (wins), you get dessert, so here we go." - Jerome Tang after his team’s win against Oklahoma State in their last game.
