The set-up: K-State is bad. It's 5-16 overall and 1-11 in conference action. The Wildcats are riding an 11-game losing streak, most recently falling 80-77 to Texas. Oklahoma State is 12-6 overall, but just 5-6 in conference action. The Cowboys enter off a 78-66 loss on Monday to Kansas. K-State's defense catches a break here facing this inconsisteent Cowboys offense.

The pick: K-State averages just 63 PPG, while the Cowboys average 76.2. The Wildcats though have seen the total go "under" in seven of their last ten road games after allowing 80 or more points in a SU loss in their last outing. I expect a hard-fought, but ultimately lower-scoring contest here. The play is the under.

This is a 9* O/U ELITE OF THE ELITE on the UNDER K-State/Oklahoma State.
