OKLAHOMA vs KANSAS STATE PREDICTION
The Kansas State Wildcats have begun to score more offensively in their last few outings and since the on-court brawl at Kansas, their team as a whole has been stepping up and performing more cohesively. The last time these teams met in Oklahoma, Kansas State played terrible while Oklahoma not only played well but had the referees on their side with home-court advantage giving them a lot of free points from the free-throw stripe. It is always tough to beat the same team twice in conference play. Look for Kansas State offense to show up and their defense to shut down Manek and Doolittle cover the spread and get a home-court victory.
