Texas vs. Kansas State
Monday, January 18, 2010 - 9:00PM ET on ESPN
The top ranked Longhorns take on the number 9 Kansas State Wildcats tonight in an exciting Big 12 matchup. Texas remains undefeated with impressive wins over Michigan State and North Carolina in December. Damion James scored 26 points in their OT victory over Texas A&M last week. Kansas State has recent wins over Texas A&M and a tough one against Colorado. Their two losses came to Missouri and Missippi. Surprising to some, most sources have Texas as a 1-point underdog at Kansas State. The over/under is listed at 159.
With only one loss at home this year, the Wildcats should be extremely competitive. If anyone can beat the Longhorns, it's them. Texas, not ready to go down just yet, should come out strong after a near-upset at home.
Stats to consider:
The Texas Longhorn's offense is ranked number 2 with 87.24 points per game. Their defense is ranked 91 by allowing 64.47 points per game.
The Kansas State Wildcats offense is ranked number 10 with 83.06 points per game. Their defense is ranked 178 by allowing 68.71 points per game.
