Kansas State vs. Rutgers: Prediction
This game feels a little tricky because Rutgers’ defense is good enough to cause K-State some issues, while the Wildcats should be able to control the tempo of the game with their defense having a leg up against the Scarlet Knights’ offense. Turnovers will be crucial in this game, but if Avery Johnson can take care of the ball, I think he’ll have chances to create explosives with his legs when Rutgers brings pressure. Give me the ‘Cats to win, but Rutgers to keep it close.
