What you need to know about Kansas State

The Wildcats were close but no cigar this past Saturday as they fell 71-68 to the West Virginia Mountaineers. A silver lining for K-State was the play of guard Mark Smith, who had 14 points and five assists in addition to eight boards. It marked the third straight loss for the Wildcats, who have started off 0-3 in the Big 12.

K-State dropped to 0-5 when it allows at least 70 points in a game, while it sports an 8-1 record when it allows fewer than 70. Preventing points has been the Wildcats strength this season as they are limiting opponents to just 61.9 points per game which is better than 90 percent of other Division I teams. On offense, the Wildcats are led by guard Nijel Pack as the sharpshooter is hitting over 40 percent on 3Ps and over 90 percent on FTs while averaging 16 PPG.

What you need to know about TCU

Meanwhile, TCU entered its matchup against the Baylor Bears this past Saturday without any home losses -- but there's a first time for everything. TCU took a 76-64 bruising from Baylor in which it was outscored by 18 points in the second half. Guard Mike Miles put forth a good effort for the losing side as he had 26 points and five assists.

You can perhaps blame a lengthy layoff for TCU falling apart versus the Bears as the Horned Frogs had not played in 18 days. It will have a much quicker turnaround for tonight's game as just three days will have passed in between. TCU has experienced success in Manhattan, Kan., recently as it has won its last two road games vs. the Wildcats.
