The Kansas State Wildcats host the Kansas Jayhawks in a Big 12 matchup. Kansas State's Max Jones is expected to capitalize on Kansas's vulnerability to three-point shots.
Kansas is not as good at defending the perimeter as the base stats indicate. Our college basketball betting picks expect regression to kick in today, with Max Jones taking advantage for Kansas State.
That run has pushed his outside shooting percentage past 40% on the season. Now he returns home to Bramlage Coliseum, where he’s made nearly 45% of such shots — almost 10 percentage points better than what he’s shot on the road. defends the 3-pointer well, they’re somewhat misleading. The Jayhawks rank 15th in the Big 12 and 347th overall in defensive spacing, according to ShotQuality, but opponents are making just 27.6% of their attempts from downtown in conference play.
Kansas State made just six of their 26 triples in the first meeting with Kansas, and I anticipate a better showing here. Jones attempted seven treys in that game, connecting twice. I expect him to do the same here, although I doubt he’ll need as many attempts to make it happen. The Jayhawks have posted the third-best assist rate in Big 12 play, and Zeke Mayo has been dishing the ball quite well of late.
