ANALYSIS:
Despite what their win percentage might indicate, Kansas State is a good team that can cause more than enough trouble for most opponents. Haslametrics has them ranked 79th overall (out of 351) in All-Play Percentage, and the team holds a record of 15-17. Of the 10 schools in the Big 12 (average ranking 42.3), they're currently ranked as our #9 team in the conference. With a strength-of-schedule rating of 0.722 (which ranks 16th nationally), Kansas State is one of the more battle-tested teams in the college game.

The primary strength for Kansas State is defense. The team is ranked 57th in efficiency, allowing fewer than 95 points for every 100 trips upcourt vs. AO. Kansas State does a super job to deny opponents offensive rebounds and second chances. They have a rating of 12.03 vs. AO in potential points allowed off of second chances (ranked 13th in the country). Kansas State has also been able to successfully prevent opponents from making shots between the three-point stripe and the low post. They're ranked 40th in Division I in defensive mid-range field goal percentage, allowing AO to make good on only 32.2% of their attempts from that distance.

Kansas State plays at about the same level on offense as they do on defense. The team ranks 106th nationally in offensive efficiency, scoring about 103 points every 100 trips upcourt vs. AO. Kansas State will routinely look to penetrate, pound the ball inside, and score from as short a distance as possible. The ball-club is 16th in the NCAA in ratio of near-proximity attempts to total field goal attempts. As far as converting those near-proximity shots goes, the team shoots 60.5% vs. AO, which falls somewhere in the middle of the pack of the rankings in that category. Kansas State also does a super job in their efforts to get to the free throw line. With a free throw attempt rate of 34.52 vs. AO, they are ranked 17th in the nation at getting to the charity stripe, where the team shoots a rather mediocre 67.5%.

Kansas State is one of the more consistent teams in Division I (presently ranked 28th in consistency), so forecasting the outcomes of their future contests tends to be easier than the norm. When playing on the road, Kansas State performs somewhat worse than they normally do on their home court. The club is nationally ranked 307th in our site's away-from-home metric.
