KSU is coming into this game as a 2 point favorite with the current betting odds according to Draftkings Sportsbook. KSU has lost 3 straight games and they have not been playing well this season but they have been a lot better at home than they have been on the road. Oklahoma State has not been good on the road this season and they have also been playing poorly recently losing 3 straight games as well. Both of these teams have struggled against conference opponents this season and they both have been really bad with not much separating the two teams here. The best bet to place in this game is on KSU to cover the spread here as they have both been so bad that the safest bet to make here is with the home team to edge them out here.

“We had nine assists in the first half and one in the second half. The team who had nine assists in the first half, really good, can beat any team in the country. The team that had one assist in the second half can be beat by anybody in the country. Somehow, we happened to have both of them play within a 15-minute break of each other.” - Michael Boynton after his team’s loss against Florida.

 

 

"You look at their number (and) Ruffin had 17, but took 16 shots to get there. But they just have great balance. They got a lot of guys to contribute — six, 17, nine, nine, 10, eight five, three (points) — and we just didn't have enough from the rest of our guys to really push them." - Bruce Weber on his team’s loss against Ole Miss.
