Kansas State vs. USC

- Coverage: ESPN
Pick: Kansas State Moneyline (+106)
I had no intention of predicting a K-State win, but after studying both teams, I think I might have backed the Wildcats even if JuJu Watkins was playing. K-State is averaging just under 80 ppg while holding opponents to 58.6 ppg allowed; USC's numbers are almost the same. Does that mean we should expect this game to go down to the wire?
I don't know about that but, without Watkins making clutch plays, I think Ayoka Lee will show out for the Wildcats and help them pull away down the stretch.
