ANALYSIS:
Despite what their win percentage might indicate, Kansas State is a good team that can cause more than enough trouble for most opponents. Carrying a record of 14-17, they are currently rated #61 overall (out of 358) in All-Play Percentage this season. Of the 10 schools in the Big 12 (average ranking 30.2), they're currently ranked as our #9 team in the conference.

Kansas State succeeds primarily through their offense. They are ranked 59th in offensive efficiency and score in excess of 107 points every 100 possessions vs. AO. Kansas State allows very few breakaway opportunities for the opposition, which typically translates to fewer turnovers. The team's rating vs. AO for potential breakaway points allowed off of steals is 7.42, which ranks #2 in the country. Kansas State also has one of the better squads in the college game when it comes to maximizing opportunities to score. The team is ranked 36th in the NCAA in offensive field goal attempt rate with a rating of 87.07 vs. AO. As far as making those field goal attempts goes, the team is somewhat middle-of-the-road, converting about 44.3% of them vs. AO.

Kansas State plays at roughly the same level defensively as they do offensively. The team ranks 59th nationally in defensive efficiency, allowing about 94 points every 100 trips upcourt vs. AO. Kansas State does an outstanding job shutting down the opposition from behind the arc. They rank 20th in the NCAA in defensive three-point percentage, allowing AO to make just 30.2% of their attempts from afar. And to expose that weakness, this team will force AO to shoot the three more than they usually would. Of AO's total field goals, a large chunk of them (41.8%) will come from long-distance. Kansas State also does a really good job to prevent opponents from getting off shots from the field. The club is ranked 40th in Division I in defensive field goal attempt rate with a rating of 80.22 vs. AO.
