The Kansas State Wildcats (7-9 SU, 6-10 ATS) make the short trip down Interstate 70 to face the Kansas Jayhawks (12-4 SU, 9-7 ATS), which has historically been a waste of 90 minutes for the team in purple. Kansas State hasn’t beaten Kansas at Allen Fieldhouse since 2006, and the Wildcats are on their fourth coach since that game.
This year’s team doesn’t appear to be the one capable of ending that streak. K-State is 0-4 away this season, and only the game at TCU was even close. Other than that, the Wildcats have lost every road game by double digits. They’ve dropped seven of their past eight games, including losses to Drake and Wichita State. Those are the kind of defeats a program like Kansas State should be above having, which speaks to how far off course this season has gone.

Our KU vs Kansas State Wildcats Prediction
This isn’t a typical Kansas team. When the Jayhawks get ticked off, they’re capable of putting up some big numbers, but that only happens when they get the ball inside. They are not good 3-point shooters, they don’t create second chances and they don’t force turnovers. But they can defend the heck out of the ball, and when they get a good look inside of 20 feet, they’re likely to make it.
Kansas State really doesn’t have a counter of any kind. The Wildcats haven’t been scoring because there isn’t really anything they do well on offense. K-State shot 37% from the floor last time, and Kansas plays even better defense than Texas Tech does. If the Wildcats were hoping to break out of their slump, they’ve come to the wrong place. Our prediction for Kansas State vs. Kansas is Kansas State Team Total Under 139.5.
