Kansas State vs. FAU: NCAA Tournament Same Game Parlay Picks

Odds via FanDuel Sportsbook

(3) Kansas State vs. (9) FAU

Leg 1 - Florida Atlantic +1.5 (-106) 

The Kansas State Wildcats escaped Michigan State while the Florida Atlantic Owls upset the Tennessee Volunteers.

Both wins were equally as impressive.

Florida Atlantic has shot 36.5% from deep this season while just under 54% from inside the arc. From the foul line, the Owls have hit 71.5% of attempts and have earned 31.1% offensive rebounds. Florida Atlantic should have success on the offensive glass. The Owls successfully rebounded against Tennessee and won’t have problems against Kansas State.

The Wildcats have allowed 29.9% of offensive rebounds per game this season. Kansas State also fouls at a very high rate. Therefore, the Owls could get more foul shot attempts in this game. Meanwhile, Florida Atlantic has held teams to 31.6% from deep and 44.8% from inside the arc. Opponents have only earned 25.5% of offensive rebounds against the Florida Atlantic this season.

The Owls are better defensively inside the arc and could win the rebounding battle while also getting to the foul line more. Take Florida Atlantic in a shocker.

Leg 2 - Over 144.5 (-105) 

Florida Atlantic found a way to score 62 points against Tennessee. Don’t take that lightly. That’s hard to do. Meanwhile, Kansas State scored 98 points in overtime against a solid-enough defensive team like Michigan State.

The Owls and Wildcats are top-35 teams in adjusted efficiency on the offensive end. Both teams also use under 17 seconds per possession this season. This game should get over the total with hot shooting and quick offense.

Leg 3 - Markquis Nowell Over 17.5 Points (-113) 

Nowell has averaged 17.2 points per game this season. Mostly every single play runs through Nowell. He just added 19 assists against Michigan State, which is now the all-time single-game record for assists in the NCAA Tournament.

Nowell will look to pass a lot. But he’s also attempted at least 13 shots in his last four games. He’s coming off a game where he attempted 18 shots and hit only 38.9%. He had been scoring at a much higher clip earlier in the Tournament. With his volume, I expect Nowell to have another big offensive game. It just won’t be enough to beat Florida Atlantic.
