Kansas State Wildcats has lost two straight games for the first time this season and suffered a big-time upset in their last contest, falling to mediocre Iowa State 85-82 in overtime on Saturday. Junior guard Jacob Pullen scored a team-high 27 points in a losing effort as the Kansas State Wildcats failed to cover the college basketball betting odds as a 15-point home favorite.

Analysis: Kansas State Wildcats was surprised by the Cowboys in their 73-69 Jan. 23 home loss as 9.5-point home favorites, but I like them to bounce back and snap their modest two-game losing streak tonight.

The Cowboys may have gone an impressive 6-2 ATS in their last eight games against Big 12 rivals, but they are also 3-7-1 ATS in their last 11 neutral site games as an underdog and 2-5 ATS in their last seven games versus a team with a winning percentage above .600.

Kansas State has gone an impressive 8-1-1 ATS in their last 10 games as a favorite of 6.5 points or less and a rock-solid 4-1 ATS in their last five games following an SU loss.

I also like the fact that the Kansas State Wildcats generally win the games they are supposed to, having gone 12-4-1 ATS in their last 17 games as a favorite.

The winner of this game will face Baylor or Texas in Friday night's semifinals.
