This is a 10* TOTAL BK on the OVER NC State/Kansas.

I believe the conditions are right for a higher-scoring shootout here between these non-conference opponents.

NC State is 7-3 SU after a tighter-than-expected 66-56 win over Coppin State last time out. Previous to that though it beat FSU 84-74 and I believe we'll see a similar final combined score here as well on this one.

When these teams played at NC State in 2022, Kansas won 80-74.

Everything points to another up-tempo affair here.

The Jayhawks are 7-2, but now desperate to snap a two-game slide.

Kansas has seen the total go UNDER in seven straight now. And that's clearly why the majority of bettors are banking on another low-scoring affair here.

But with the majority going "one way," we'll be "going the other."

The play is the OVER.

Good luck, NP
