5* NCAAB *BEST BET* (ESPN) on Kansas State +4
Motivated by a loss at Texas Saturday, and further fueled by an embarrassing 18-point loss at Kansas on Jan. 4, expect the Wildcats to take care of business at home tonight.

K-State is 10-2 at home on the season and those 2 losses came by just 2 and 3 points respectively. It is also worth noting that the Wildcats have a 16-point home win over Missouri, who beat the Jayhawks earlier this month. In addition, K-State won 84-68 in last season's home meeting against the Jayhawks, and that Kansas team was more polished that this year's squad.

The Wildcats are 5-0-1 ATS in their last 6 games as a home underdog and 5-0-1 ATS in their last 6 games as a home underdog of 6.5 points or less. The Jayhawks are 0-4-1 ATS in their last 5 games following a win. Also, the home team is 6-0 ATS in the last 6 meetings. Take K-State.
