About Tulsa:

The Golden Hurricane are off to a 3-0 start with wins over Oklahoma Christian, Rhode Island and Oral Roberts. They are shooting the ball well from 3-point range (46.7%) and they aren’t committing many turnovers. Miles Barnstable and David Green are the team’s leading scorers. Tulsa is coming off a 13-win season under head coach Eric Konkol.

About K-State:

The Wildcats have been all gas, no brakes this season. With new assistant coach Matthew Driscoll in command of the offense, K-State is lighting up the scoreboard. The Wildcats lead the nation in 3-point percentage (54.4%) and effective field goal percentage (69%). For those reasons, K-State has flirted with 100 points in all three of their games.

PJ Haggerty and Nate Johnson have led the Wildcats to a 3-0 start. But the defense has been suspect at times.

K-State game prediction:

The oddsmakers have been slow to adjust their numbers on K-State.

Jerome Tang’s team is averaging more than 97 points per game, but the over/under team points total for K-State is 87.5 against Tulsa. The Wildcats are fresh off the highest-scoring game in Bramlage Coliseum history (a 99-96 win over Cal), but the over/under points total for Monday’s game is 161.5.

On paper, Tulsa does not look like an opponent that will slow down K-State. The Golden Hurricane struggle to defend the 3-point line, and the Wildcats have been feasting on the perimeter early on this season.

It will come as a surprise if this isn’t another high-scoring affair. Tulsa is averaging 90 points per game. It will gladly run with K-State.

The 12.5-point spread does feel right, though.

K-State will need to play better defense than it did against Cal to win this game by a big number. But the Wildcats may be ready to do exactly that after they watched Cal nearly erase a 25-point deficit on them last week.

K-State 100, Tulsa 85

Last game prediction: K-State 83, Cal 79 ✅ (actual score: K-State 99, Cal 96)

Season record: 3-0.

Season record ATS: 3-0.

Season record O/U: 3-0.
