Kansas Jayhawks vs Kansas State Wildcats Predictions 1/17/2023

 

Due to their recent loss against #17 TCU on the road, Kansas State had a nine-game winning streak end.

 

With a 4-1 record in conference play, the Wildcats, who are now 15-2 overall, are currently tied for second place in the Big 12 rankings.

 

Kansas State had a five-point lead early on against TCU but was unable to regain it as the Horned Frogs went on a 13-2 run to put them down 19-13 with 9:51 left in the first half.

 

The Wildcats closed the gap to two at 19-17 but the remainder of the half saw them outscored 24-12 and down 43-29. The rest of the game, Kansas State never got any closer than 13 points, and they ultimately lost.

 

The Wildcats are scoring above-average points per game this year, posting 78.2; they are currently ranked 47th in scoring offense.

 

Kansas State ranks fifth in the nation with an average of 18.6 assists per game while grabbing 35.7 rebounds each night. The Wildcats’ defense is above average; they rank 123rd in the US, surrendering 67.2 points per game.

#2 Kansas Jayhawks vs #13 Kansas State Wildcats. The NCAAB pick for this game is the #13 Kansas State Wildcats.

 

Winning non-conference games is one thing, but now that conference play began, it’s possible to tell the wheat from the chaff.

 

Despite some impressive victories, Kansas State was defeated by the Horned Frogs in their most recent game on the road.

 

The Wildcats’ schedule doesn’t get any easier as they play Florida, Texas Tech, Iowa State, Kansas twice, and Texas Tech in the following two weeks.

 

Although Kansas State is a tough team, they don’t have the same kind of depth that Kansas does. As we saw Saturday at home against Iowa State, the Jayhawks demonstrated the ability to win close matches.

 

The entire game is close, but Kansas pulls through just enough to win and extend their winning streak to 11 games. The #13 Kansas State Wildcats will win to a predicted score of 76-73.
