ANALYSIS:
While this site doesn't quite consider them to be in the national title hunt, Kansas State has the potential to be a formidable opponent for many in Division I. Ranked 77th overall (out of 362) in our most recent ratings, they presently have a record of 19-15. They are also ranked by this site as the #12 team (out of 14) in the Big 12 (average ranking 44.9). Sporting a strength-of-schedule rating of 0.712 (the 17th-highest in the country), Kansas State has prepared themselves by challenging some of the best teams in the college game.

Kansas State will suffocate most opponents with its stifling defense. Allowing roughly 96 points for every 100 possessions vs. AO, this squad is rated #23 in defensive efficiency. Kansas State will do a number on many an opponent's shooting percentage, as the team ranks in the top-25 in three of our four major defensive field goal categories. They allow AO to convert only 29.9% of their three-pointers (second in the nation), 51.7% of their near-proximity attempts (19th), and 39.3% of their total shots from the field (13th). If Kansas State does exhibit a weakness on the defensive end of the floor, it'd likely be the team's difficulties stopping opponents from obtaining second-chance opportunities via offensive rebounds. The squad has a rating of 15.83 in potential points allowed off of second chances vs. AO, which ranks 31st-worst in college hoops.

Though they're not quite as efficient offensively as they are defensively, Kansas State still does OK when they have possession of the ball. The team ranks 130th nationally in offensive efficiency, scoring about 107 points every 100 trips upcourt vs. AO. Kansas State has established itself as a team that cleans the offensive glass quite well. Against AO, the squad has a rating of 16.95 in potential points scored off of second chances (ranked 36th in the NCAA). Kansas State also does a really good job to acquire opportunities from the free throw line. With a free throw attempt rate of 29.92 vs. AO, they are ranked 43rd in the nation at getting to the charity stripe, where the team shoots a rather mediocre 71.0%.
