West Virginia Mountaineers vs. Kansas State Wildcats Preview

On the season West Virginia is 10-7 ATS and they have an O/U record of 7-4-1 and Kansas State is 10-6-1 ATS and they have an Under record of 6-8.

[dfads params=’groups=63742&limit=1&return_javascript=0′]

This season Kansas State is 9-2 at home and West Virginia is 3-1 on the road.

In their last games Kansas State beat Oklahoma State 63-53 and West Virginia beat TCU 86-85.

Kansas State did not get off to a good start with the non-conference schedule, but they are tied for 2nd place in the Big 12. They have won 5 of their last 6 games and 2 of those wins came over ranked teams.

[dfads params=’groups=63727&limit=1&return_javascript=0′]

West Virginia is 1 game back of KSU and Iowa State in the conference and they have faced 3 ranked teams in their last 4 games losing twice. They are the slight 1.5-point road underdog facing a Wildcats team that has a solid defense. The Wildcats have to play good D since they only rank 220th in the nation in points per game.

WVU plays a full court pressure defense and while they lead the nation in turnovers forced per game they face a KSU squad that has only turned the ball over 10 times in each of their last 2 games.

While WVU does rank 24th in the nation in scoring they only rank 9th in the Big 12, which has 10 teams, in team FG%.

Juwan Staten is the leading scorer for the Mountaineers and after struggling, big time, in 2 straight games he went for 18 in the win over TCU. The Wildcats also have to key on 2nd leading scorer and leading rebounder Devin Williams, who has grabbed at least 11 boards in 3 of his last 4 games.

The Wildcats also have a solid G/FW combo as their 2 leading scorers in Marcus Foster and Nino Williams, who has averaged 20 ppg in his last 3 games.

KSU is not a team that has a lot of height, as their 2 leading rebounders are 6’5” and 6’7” respectively.

[dfads params=’groups=64759&limit=1&return_javascript=0′]

That is the reason they only rank 314th in the nation in rebounds per game and they have to man up on the bigger Mountaineers and not them dominate the glass.
