|---|---|
| BYU Cougars | -10.5 (-110) |
| Kansas St Wildcats | +10.5 (-110) |
BYU is 21-10 overall, 9-9 in the Big 12, and the 10th seed in the tournament. They hit a bump in the road finishing out Big 12 play, but they are a lock for the NCAA tournament. For More March Madness Betting Odds and Predictions, see the Full Hub".
AJ Dybantsa has ignited this team. Dybantsa leads the entire country in scoring at roughly 24.7 ppg and has hit 20 or more points in each of his last 10 games. Can he carry his team to a win?
Kansas State is 12-19 overall, 3-15 in the Big 12, and the 15th seed in the tournament. They have had a tough season to say the least. They have recently fired head coach Jerome Tang, who publicly said his players didn't deserve to wear the Wildcats uniform.
One player who does deserve to wear that uniform is PJ Haggerty. He is one of the nation's best scorers, good for 23.3 points per game. He is an elite slasher and has a great knack at getting to the line. Can he lead the upset?
Kansas St vs BYU is the usual case of, we know who will win, but can they cover? A lot of games in March come down to emotions, playing for something bigger. BYU has title aspirations, while KSU's season feels over already. We think BYU will dominate. Our pick is BYU ATS(-10.5)
