Iowa State at Kansas State Game Preview

Why Iowa State Will Win

Kansas State has hit a snag.

It was rolling right along through mid-January, and then the Big 12 rose up and took over. There’s a win against the SEC’s Florida in there, but the Wildcats are 4-6 in their last ten games with the offense having a hard time hanging on to the ball.

The Kansas State attack ins’t great from three and it’s just okay on the move, but it’s about the turnovers – there are mountains of them. Just assume Iowa State will generate at least 15 of them, and …

Why Kansas State Will Win

Iowa State isn’t exactly stingy with the ball, either.

The Cyclone defense might lead the Big 12 in takeaways, but Kansas State’s defense is able to force mistakes by the bunches, too.

Iowa State won the first meeting 80-76 in Ames partly because Kansas State couldn’t hit a free throw – that’s an aberration.

The Cats are terrific on the line, Iowa State fouls by the truckload and doesn’t hit its own free throws, and rebounding will matter. Kansas State isn’t great on the glass, but it’s far, far better than the Cyclones.

What’s Going To Happen

Home court means everything.

Iowa State has lost its last five on the road and is 14-1 at home. Kansas State has lost its last five on the road and is 13-1 at home.

Kansas State will hit its free throws this time around.
