Colorado (9-20, 1-14) at Kansas State (20-10, 8-7)
Sat. Mar. 7 at 1:30 p.m. EST
Spread: Kansas State - 16.5
Backcourt Advantage: Kansas State
Denis Clemente (15.3 PPG) and Jacob Pullen (13.5) have been a consistent source of scoring for the Wildcats this season. When one player is having an off-night, the other is usually able to pick up the slack.
Both players should be able to score in bunches in their conference finale against a Colorado team that is winless on the road.
Frontcourt Advantage: Kansas State
The advantage for Kansas State inside is more a reflection on how mediocre the Buffaloes are than how strong the Wildcats are. K-State has been out-rebounding its opponents by 6.5 rebounds per game, while Colorado is getting beat by 5.4 boards per game. No reason to think anything should change in that department in this game.
Momentum: Kansas State
Kansas State is still working to impress the selection committee for a spot in the NCAA tournament. After a slow start in conference play, the Wildcats have built a solid resume, highlighted by their last 12 games in which they are 9-3.
Colorado is only playing for pride at this point. Expect the Wildcats to win in a romp.
Shaun's Pick: Kansas State -16.5
