NCAA Basketball Wagering – Kansas State at Cleveland State

The Kansas State Wildcats (3-0 SU, 0-1 ATS, 0-1 O/U) have gotten the post-Michael Beasley era off on the right foot, winning three straight games in the BetUS Sportsbook. The Cleveland State Vikings (1-1 SU, 0-1 ATS, 0-1 O/U) took a tough loss on the chin their last time out, losing to Washington 78-63 on Tuesday.

Now both teams will be looking to pick up a win for BetUS NCAA college basketball sports betting fans everywhere when the teams meet at Wolstein Center tonight.

The Wildcats are coming off an emphatic 82-60 home win over Emporia State as sophomore forward Dominique Sutton and sophomore guard Fred Brown led the team with 14 points apiece.

K-State help their counterparts to just 42.9 percent shooting and ran away in the second half, outscoring Emporia State 42-26.

Sophomore point guard Norris Cole scored 20 points for Cleveland State but shot just 8-for-19 as the Vikings fell to Washington after missing 18 of its first 21 shots and falling behind by as much as 24 points late in the first half.

Cleveland State shot a pitiful 31.4 (22-for-70) percent from the field.

Here is a look at the key betting trends for each team followed by my in-depth analysis and NCAA college basketball Free Picks:

The Wildcats are 37-15-1 ATS in their last 53 Saturday games.
The Wildcats are 4-10 ATS in their last 14 non-conference games.
The Vikings are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 Saturday games.
The Vikings are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 home games.
The Over is 4-0 in Wildcats last 4 road games following three or more consecutive home games.
The Over is 7-1 in Wildcats last 8 Saturday games.
The Under is 5-1 in Vikings last 6 Saturday games.
The Under is 4-1 in Vikings last 5 games following a S.U. loss.

Analysis: Cleveland State looked really, really bad against Washington and will likely fall against the Wildcats as well, though they don’t have nearly the length that Washington does.

Expect the K-State Wildcats to win this game on the road by somewhere between 5 and 10 points, maybe 12 at the most. Either way, I don’t see a Vikings win or a big blowout by the Wildcats.
