Florida @ Kansas State
Current Records: Florida 12-8; Kansas State 17-3
What to Know
The Florida Gators will take on the #5 Kansas State Wildcats at 6 p.m. ET Saturday at Fred Bramlage Coliseum. The Gators should still be riding high after a big victory, while K-State will be looking to get back in the win column.
Florida made easy work of the South Carolina Gamecocks on Wednesday and carried off an 81-60 win. Florida got double-digit scores from five players: forward Colin Castleton (18), guard Kowacie Reeves (15), guard Riley Kugel (14), guard Kyle Lofton (10), and guard Will Richard (10).
K-State lost a heartbreaker to the Iowa State Cyclones when they met last February, and they left with a heavy heart again on Tuesday. K-State fell in an 80-76 heartbreaker. The losing side was boosted by guard Markquis Nowell, who had 23 points and nine assists.
The Gators are expected to lose this next one by 5. They might be worth taking a chance on against the spread, however, as they are currently on a five-game streak of ATS wins.
Florida's victory brought them up to 12-8 while the Wildcats' defeat pulled them down to 17-3. Florida is 5-6 after wins this season, and K-State is 2-0 after losses.
