The current betting odds have Kansas State listed as a 3 point favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. Kansas State has been going through a bit of a rough patch lately but overall they have been having a great year with their 18-5 record and 6-4 conference record that is also one of the better ones in the Big 12 this season. They have been a really good home team this year only losing 1 game there as they are 12-1 in home games and they have lost 2 games in a row now, both against ranked teams, which means they will be looking to bounce back in this game on their home court against another ranked team. TCU is 17-6 overall this year and they are also 6-4 in their conference games. They have been missing some key players in their lineup lately though and they haven't been a very good road team either with their 2-4 road record. They have been struggling even more without their key players and they are going to have a very tough time on the road here against a good team looking to bounce back after 2 losses. The best way to place a bet here is on Kansas State to cover the spread in this game.

“We’ve got to guard better. I thought we had worked on it a lot going into this game and we had a plan in place, but we didn’t get it done. Obviously, we were down a couple of guys, but they were down a guy, too. We were in a position to win the game, but we didn’t get it done and that’s on me.” - Jamie Dixon after his team’s loss against Oklahoma State in their last game.

"They just came out and were way more physical than we were, and more aggressive than we were. I don't know what the mindset was, but we talked about coming out and owning the paint again, because in the first half it was, I think, 14-8, and in the second half it was flipped the other way. I think it was (22-9)." - Jerome Tang after his team’s loss against Texas in their last game.
