Game Preview
The Big 12 conference is gearing up for yet another highly anticipated showdown, scheduled for Wednesday night at 9:00 pm. This time, it’s the Kansas State Wildcats (14-4) going head to head against the Iowa State Cyclones (14-4) at the renowned James H. Hilton Coliseum.
Kansas State faced off against the Oklahoma State Cowboys, the only team in the Big 12 without a win. Despite being down by 8 points in the second half, the Wildcats managed to turn the game around with an impressive shooting performance, making 52.1% of their shots (including 36.4% from beyond the arc), ultimately securing a close 70-66 victory.
Defensively Kansas State holds their opponents to an average of 67.3 points per game, with a shooting percentage of 39.6%. Additionally, they restrict their opponents to just 15.7 free throw attempts per game and a 3 point shooting percentage of 31.5%.
Iowa State faced a close call last weekend as well, where they had to rely on every single point they could muster in Fort Worth. However, their efforts paid off as the Cyclones emerged victorious with a narrow 73-72 win, despite a relentless TCU defense. The standout aspect of that game was Iowa State’s exceptional defense, which managed to force an impressive 27 turnovers. They achieved the second highest number of turnovers per game across the country, averaging 18.6 turnovers per match.
The Cyclones limit their opponents to a shooting percentage of 39.3%, with a 3 point shooting percentage of 33.2% and an average of 17.2 free throw attempts.
This is going to be an extremely close matchup, especially with both sides almost slipping up against weaker opposition in their latest matchup. Nevertheless, Kansas State’s offense seems to have more momentum going into this game, thus we give them the edge.
