Texas Longhorns vs Kansas State Wildcats Predictions 1/4/2022

Despite a near-historic day for fifth-year senior Mark Smith, Kansas State was unable to complete a gallant second-half turnaround against Oklahoma on Saturday night, as the Sooners won 71-69 in the Big 12 opener for both teams.

Smith, a transfer from Missouri, had his first 25-point/15-rebound performance since 2008, nearly bringing the Wildcats back from a double-digit disadvantage. While completing nearly 39 minutes, he set career highs in points (25), rebounds (16), and assists (5).

Due to COVID-19 health and safety standards, the Sooners were missing three players, including top scorer Tanner Groves (14.3 ppg. ), while the Wildcats were without their second-leading scorer Markquis Nowell (12.8 ppg.).

Nowell also had the most assists (54) and steals (9) on the squad (23). K-State is now 54-55 all-time in conference openers, with a record of 18-35 on the road. In the Big 12 era, Kansas State is 11-15 in openers.

The University of Kansas State Wildcats is 6-2-1 ATS in their last 9 matches.
