Take #624 LSU over Kansas St
(NCAAB) Kansas State vs. LSU,
Point Spread: -2.00 | -110.00 LSU (Home)
Result: Loss
Kansas State is getting used to playing overtime games. More importantly, it's getting used to winning them. The Wildcats (7-2) have gone into overtime and won in each of their last three games heading into Saturday afternoon's contest against host LSU in Baton Rouge, La. Kansas State recorded a 72-71 win over visiting Villanova on Tuesday night in the Big 12/Big East Battle. The Wildcats, who also beat Providence in overtime on Nov. 17, will be playing on their opponent's home-court for the first time this season Saturday. The Tigers (5-3) were in danger of entering overtime themselves in their last game despite holding a 15-point lead in the second half. Visiting Southeastern Louisiana used a 14-4 run to get within three points with 30 seconds remaining before Jordan Wright made four free throws to seal a 73-66 victory on Dec. 1. We think KSU might be fatigued here after three straight overtime games, andLSU with that almost collapse last time out, we think will be focused on the job at hand, and we like the Tigers here.
