Real talk, guys... I'm on the fence.  I really thought this line would be 3 or 4, so why are the books begging for K-State money?  Especially with the pokes coming off a court-storming worthy upset win?

Okie Lite has revenge angle and I'm assuming some minor travel difficulties for our 'Cats, but still very odd line.

Big Monday in Stillwater.  Bubble teams needs this win.  (Tho KU W likely punched their ticket).  KSU is in.  Isn't playing for nearly as much.  Sucks on road. 

10 point loss is likely.

OSU has really weird team chemistry. Some games they look like they returned all their starters from a national title run, other games they look like an NAIA all-star team who is playing together for the first time. I wouldn't be surprised if we won by 10+ or lost by 20+...hoping for the former though.

Maybe I'm only remembering past K-State teams, but I don't think college basketball teams generally play well after coming off a big win. Especially with only one day off in between.

If you don't think they want the 2 seed in KC then you haven't been paying attention. We probably have to win both games this week to do that.

I think we'd love the 2-seed.  but, playing for tournament seeding is a lot different than playing to get into the tourny in the first place. Like I said, we're not playing for nearly as much.  still an important game for us, just not as important as it is for OSU, IMHO.

Sad to say, but I have mixed feelings.  As much as I want the Pokes to win, I want everyone to stay in the hunt and prevent OU from getting 2nd place outright.

Yes, because if nothing else, we know this Cat team brings their best game on the road.

I get it. I'm not really concerned with this game either because I wrote it off as a loss a long time ago. The Baylor game is crucial though and IMO a must win.

The idea that our team isn't playing for nearly as much is ridiculous. We're also playing for NCAA seeding and momentum going into the postseason. Both teams will be ready to go tonight...Should be a close game. +9 is way too many.

Well, according to my calculations, of all of our road games, we have a point differential of -5.88 points/game average.

So, that would put us in range of the point spread.........now, we could lay a turd like we did against ku, ou, and the 2nd OT of Baylor, so keep that in mind in placing your bets

I think we keep it close until late and then have to foul, so point spread will end up -10/-14 range, but I am a negative nancy, so whatever.....

Or, we could also win? :pray:

I really, really hate Marcus Smart.....

Baylor's won 5 of their last 6, including at WV when WV was smoking hot.    They're longer than Okie State, and present a really bad match-up for the 'Cats.  Yeah, we have them at home, but that doesn't change the fundamental challenge.  Do you think Baylor is more, or less desperate for a quality win to get off the bubble?  Okie St. may have a hangover problem, Baylor won't.

I can assure you our point spread v. Baylor will have a "-" in front of it instead of the "+" the OSU game has. and for good reason, we are very good at home.
