The Lowdown: Kansas State is looking to bounce back from a disappointing loss to Tulsa in which it went 4 for 31 from three-point range. Southeast Missouri State is only 6-4, but it has won four straight and will enter this game with momentum.
K-State player to watch: Makol Mawien. If not now, when? K-State has placed a special emphasis on getting the ball inside this game, and Southeast Missouri State lacks size. This is a great matchup for K-State’s starting center.
SE Missouri State player to watch: Denzel Mahoney. The versatile sophomore forward is averaging 19 points per game. He could pose some problems for the Wildcats.
Prediction
K-State hasn’t lost at home this season and Southeast Missouri State doesn’t have the talent or depth to challenge the Wildcats at Bramlage Coliseum. This game will be more about player development than result.
