What to Know
Kansas State will be in front of their home fans on Tuesday, but a look at the spread shows they might need that home-court advantage. They and the Texas Tech Red Raiders will face off in a Big 12 battle at 9:00 p.m. ET at Bramlage Coliseum. The Wildcats are limping into the matchup on a three-game losing streak.
It’s going to take some time for Kansas State to recover from the 87-57 bruising that Houston dished out on Saturday. The game marked the Wildcats’ lowest-scoring contest so far this season.
Perhaps unsurprisingly given the score, Kansas State struggled to get the ball back on offense and finished the game with only two offensive rebounds. That’s the fewest offensive rebounds they’ve posted since back in March of 2024.
Meanwhile, Texas Tech fought the good fight in their overtime match against Iowa State on Saturday but wound up with a less-than-desirable result. They lost 85-84 to the Cyclones on a last-minute free throw From Joshua Jefferson. The Red Raiders got off to an early lead (up 13 with 6:10 left in the first quarter), but sadly they weren’t able to maintain that momentum.
Despite their loss, Texas Tech saw several players rise to the challenge and make noteworthy plays. Christian Anderson, who went 6 for 11 en route to 18 points plus two steals, was perhaps the best of all. Anderson had some trouble finding his footing against BYU on Tuesday, so this was a step in the right direction. Another player making a difference was Chance McMillian, who went 6 for 11 en route to 18 points plus eight rebounds.
Kansas State’s defeat ended a three-game streak of wins at home and dropped them to 7-8. As for Texas Tech, their loss dropped their record down to 11-4.
