This is a 10* play on KANSAS STATE

For the 1st time in 15 years, Kansas will not win the Big 12 regular season title. That much we know. But who will supplant the Jayhawks is still up for grabs. It will either be Texas Tech or Kansas State. The two come into Saturday tied with matching 13-4 conference records. Unlike Texas Tech, Kansas State gets to play at home. They host Oklahoma, whom the 18th ranked Wildcats easily downed earlier this year in Norman, 74-61 as five-point underdogs. Ironically, it was OU that came into that first meeting ranked in the top 20 (Wildcats were unranked). Something Kansas State has in common with Texas Tech is they are one of the top defensive teams in the country. The Wildcats allow 59.3 PPG, 4th fewest in the entire nation (1 PPG more than TT). Oklahoma has faded badly since losing that first matchup with Kansas State. The Sooners are 6-8 SU the last 14 games and that's even with back to back wins to open March. After upsetting Kansas earlier in the week, it would only be natural for the Sooners to have a letdown Saturday in Manhattan. Kansas State is 13-2 in the Octagon of Doom this year.
