Big 12 matchup features Wildcats at Red Raiders

NCAA Basketball Betting Lines

02/23/2010 - Lubbock, TX (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The sixth-ranked Kansas State Wildcats bring a five-game win streak into tonight's Big 12 Conference clash with the Texas Tech Red Raiders.

Kansas State is not on the same level as rival Kansas, at least in regard to record, but the Wildcats have a good chance to earn the second seed in the upcoming Big 12 Tournament. On Saturday, K-State beat Oklahoma on the road by an 83-68 final and is now 6-1 in true road affairs. The Wildcats are 22-4 overall, which includes a 9-3 ledger versus league foes.

Sure, Texas Tech can take some pride in its 16-10 overall record, but that mark is clearly overshadowed by a 4-8 record versus Big 12 opposition. The Red Raiders have lost their last three games, including a 71-67 setback to Texas on Saturday. That loss to the Longhorns was just the third in what was the team's 16th home game.

The all-time series between Kansas State and Texas Tech is tied at 12-12, and the Wildcats won last season's meeting by an 85-73 final.

There is no shortage of talent on the Kansas State roster, as four double- digit scorers provide the bulk of the offensive production. Jacob Pullen continues to pace the Wildcats with 18.5 ppg, and Denis Clemente provides 16.1 ppg and 106 assists. Jamar Samuels generates 11.7 ppg, and Curtis Kelly adds 11.5 ppg. While the Wildcats are racking up 80.9 ppg, they are holding opponents to 69.1 ppg on 41.8 percent shooting from the field. Clemente poured in 27 points and dished out six assists against Oklahoma on Saturday, while Pullen and Kelly finished with 14 points apiece. A total of five players reached double figures in scoring for the Wildcats, who shot 53.3 percent from the field, including 10-of-20 from three-point range.

Overall this season, Texas Tech is averaging 76.5 ppg while allowing 74.6 ppg, but the team is being outscored by 7.1 ppg in Big 12 games. The leading scorer for Tech is Mike Singletary with 15.2 ppg, and he is tops on the boards as well with 6.7 rpg. John Roberson checks in with 14.7 ppg on the strength of his 42.4 percent shooting from three-point range, and he has dished out 138 assists. David Tairu is the third and final double-digit scorer with 10.4 ppg. Against Texas on Saturday, the Red Raiders shot just 37 percent from the floor in the first half and trailed by seven points at intermission. They were more efficient at the offensive end in the second half but still fell narrowly. A 44-30 rebounding deficit clearly hurt the cause for Tech, which got 21 points from Nick Okorie.
