Kansas Jayhawks at Kansas State Wildcats Same Game Parlay Picks Recap

Kansas State continued its late-season surge scoring a huge 81-73 victory over No. 16 Kansas as short home dogs, marking its fifth straight win and third consecutive home victory over their hated in-state rivals. David N’Guessan led the Wildcats with 20 points, while Dug McDaniel contributed 15. Max Jones and Coleman Hawkins each added 12, helping Kansas State notch its third win over a ranked opponent as well as its third Quad 1 win of the season.

Kansas struggled to find consistency once again. Hunter Dickinson led all scorers with 21 points, while Zeke Mayo had 15 and KJ Adams added 13. However, the Jayhawks fell behind early in the second half as Kansas State extended its lead to 55-43 with 17:20 remaining and never looked back. A key moment came when Kansas point guard Dajuan Harris Jr. picked up three first-half fouls, limiting him to just over four minutes of play before halftime. He finished with four points and six assists. Kansas State’s ball movement was instrumental, as the Wildcats racked up 23 assists while committing only 10 turnovers despite heavy defensive pressure. With this win, Kansas State’s tournament hopes are gaining traction, while the Jayhawks remain in search of consistency down the stretch.

While the Kansas Jayhawks won the rebounding battle 36-30 and logged an assist on 22 of 30 made baskets, its 14 turnovers and inability to defend the arc prevented the Jayhawks from sweeping the season rivalry after scoring the 10-point win over K-State three weeks ago. After holding the Wildcats to six makes on 26 attempts in the first run-in, KU allowed the home team to convert 11 of its 27 overall long range attempts ultimately killing any shot of cashing in on either of the two recommended same game parlay legs. Bill Self’s troops are limping towards the finish line after entering the season ranked the No. 1 team in the land.

Kansas Jayhawks at Kansas State Wildcats Same Game Parlay Picks

Saturday’s college basketball same game parlay picks take us to the “Little Apple” where the No. 16 Kansas Jayhawks invade Bramlage Coliseum in hopes of sweeping the Kansas State Wildcats for the first time since 2022. These hated in-state rivals split their last four regular season meetings with the over cashing at a 3-0-1 clip. KU got the leg up in the first showdown after scoring the 84-74 win, but failed to cover the 15-point closing CBB betting lines. The 158 combined points pushed the over to 5-0-1 in the last six confrontations.

After spitting the bit in Waco the game prior, Kansas held serve back in the Phog against Iowa State avenging an earlier season loss by burying the Cyclones 69-52 as 3-point home chalk. The win moved Bill Self to 38-0 at home on Big Monday as the Jayhawks shot caller. Jerome Tang’s squad is heating up, extending its win streak to four after a wire-to-wire 71-70 upset at Arizona State as 3-point road underdogs. The victory brings them within one game of .500 in conference play.

Kansas Jayhawks

The Jayhawks took to their home hardwood determined to wash the taste of that wretched loss to Baylor out of their mouths. Kansas wasted little time turning the page on that loss by getting out to a commanding 35-19 halftime lead. When it was said and done, Kansas easily covered the CBB betting odds in the 17 point win by way of shooting 47% from the field which included a stellar 9 of 18 showing from downtown.

Zeke Mayo led the scoring charge with a game-high 17 points that included five makes from beyond the arc. Hunter Dickinson came a rebound short of notching yet another double-double after scoring 14 points. Freshman Flory Bidunga proved to be a stat sheet stuffer over his 14 minutes, scoring four points, ripping down four caroms, and blocking four shots.

Kansas State Wildcats

After shocking Iowa State with an 80-61 win in Ames—handing the Cyclones their first home loss of the season as 14.5-point underdogs—Kansas State carried that momentum into the desert on Tuesday night, edging out a narrow one-point victory in Tempe. The Wildcats set the tone right from the jump taking a 35-32 lead into the break before holding on at the death to push the win streak to four and cover the closing college basketball betting lines for the seventh straight time.

The beneficiary of two late missed free throws, the Wildcats carried their hot shooting over from Ames after shooting 47% from the field which included 10 makes from long range. David N’Guessan went for a season-high 22 points on 8 of 11 shooting, and also pulled down a team-high eight rebounds along with Dug McDaniel allowing Kansas State to win the battle of the boards 35-32.

College basketball bettors anticipated a defensive battle in the first meeting between these Sunflower State rivals. PROLINE+ oddsmaker’s opened the total 141.5 but saw an influx of under money push the number to beat to 139.5 at the close. A total of 68 points hit the board over the first 20 minutes, but then the teams combined for 90 in the second half which raced passed the number by 18.5 points. Kansas State shot 46% from the field and tallied its 74 points with only six 3-point makes. Kansas shot 55% overall and also only managed six connections from deep. Excelled two-point shooting and an abundance of attempts from the charity stripe aided the combined score to go over the total.

That was quite the anomaly. Both squads rank out amongst the top-65 in the nation in two-point defense, with KU clocking in at No. 10. Each squad ranks out above average in defensive free throw rate as well, with the Jayhawks 84th and the Kansas State Wildcats 47^th. A key advantage for KU was dominance on the glass, out-rebounding K-State 33-23. That edge makes me believe they’ll have a strong chance to complete the season sweep Saturday afternoon. Though Kansas cost us last weekend at Baylor, I’ll lay the short road chalk and pair it with the under for my same game parlay picks.
