Will K-State become small?

K-State coach Jerome Tang decided that his best bet against Arizona State in the absence of Hawkins was to go with four guards. The safeguard leader CJ Jones took the place of Hawkins alongside Dug McDaniel, Brendan Hausen, Max Jones and striker David N’Gussan.

N’Guessan experienced a big match with 20 points and 13 rebounds, and CJ Johnson scored 10 points during his first departure Big 12, but not much else for the Wildcats in attack because they fired 19,2 % on a 3 -point range.

Big Man Ugo Onyenso and Wing Mobi Ikegwuruka combined for 32 1/2 minutes of the bench but were not really a factor in attack with two points each. Wildcats must either get better from the perimeter or obtain more production of these two against the UCF.

Prediction: Kansas State 77, UCF 76

The UCF is the worst defensive team of the league, granting 84.6 points per game at a conference. The knights are also the latter on the sidelines of rebound, which should relieve the burden of K-State with Hawkins out of the range. Give a light edge to the Wildcats even if they are in digital disadvantage.
