Kansas State at Iowa State picks and predictions
Prediction
Iowa State 75, Kansas State 68
Moneyline
KSU is the lean, but slightly better relative value can be found in the ATS action. PASS.
Against the spread
In road games lined with totals 130-134.5, Kansas State is 5 for its last 6 ATS and 33 for its last 50 ATS. Across the last 7 games of this series, the Wildcats are 5-1-1 ATS.
KSU has important green check marks in the offensive rebounding and perimeter defense categories. Look for this to be a 2-possession game late. KANSAS STATE +7.5 (-105) is worth partial-unit action.

Over/Under
Since 2020, the Over has gone 6-2 in this series. When Iowa State is favored the Over is 9-5.
We should expect a moderate pace but with a decent number of put-back and transition opportunities. Expect quite a few dunks and near-proximity looks as well as KSU triples.
The best leverage play on this contest is the OVER 134.5 (-115).
