Kansas State at Kansas: Three things to know
- Both teams have been on slides of late. The Wildcats have lost eight in a row; included in that stretch are four road losses by an average of 20.3 points. The Jayhawks have lost four of their last five; all four setbacks were on the road.
- In Big 12 play, Kansas State ranks last in shooting with a 42.1% mark from the field. That includes an anemic 29.8% performance from beyond the arc. Turnovers have also short-circuited the KSU offense. The Wildcats were tagged with a combined 47 miscues in back-to-back losses to West Virginia and Baylor Jan. 23 and Jan. 27. Their 15.3 turnovers per game rank last in the conference.
- Kansas is 7-1 at home, with its one setback coming in an awful shooting performance against ranked Texas (Jan. 2). Efficiency figures tell the tale of a Jayhawks five which has struggled offensively while playing better defense at home. Kansas has allowed just 110 points over its last two games at Allen Fieldhouse.

Against the spread (ATS)
Jayhawks are 23-9-1 ATS in their last 33 home games vs. a team with a losing road record. Kansas is the lean Tuesday, but only up to 15-16 points. PASS on the 17.5 tag.
Over/Under (O/U)
The market has moved the total down a notch, but there is still room for value on the underside of 132.5. The Under is 5-3 in eight Kansas games against slow-tempo foes.
TAKE THE UNDER 132.5 (-110).
