The Kansas State Wildcats snapped a 7-game losing streak to the Kansas Jayhawks on Tuesday, and look to continue the momentum tomorrow as they take on the Texas Tech Red Raiders.
The Wildcats enter with a 16-2 record and are at the top of the Big 12 conference with a 5-1 conference record. The Red Raiders have struggled to open Big 12 play, sitting 0-6 in league play with a 10-8 overall record. Texas Tech has been slightly unlucky however, losing games to Kansas, Texas, Baylor, and Oklahoma by five points or less.
The Red Raiders are led by senior Kevin Obanor, a former March Madness cinderella star at Oral Roberts. Texas Tech matches up well with the Wildcats, featuring an explosive offense, as well as a stout defense.
The matchup to watch out for is between Obanor and Kansas State senior Keyontae Johnson, who is coming off of a 24 point performance against the Jayhawks. These two have very similar size and scoring ability, and this game may come down to who wins this particular matchup.
