Kansas State Wildcats vs Kansas Jayhawks Prediction, Odds and Picks for Today, 03/07/26

No. 14 Kansas will look to regain its rhythm as it welcomes Kansas State to the Allen Fieldhouse. The Jayhawks’ offense has struggled recently, averaging just 65.5 points per game in their last six games. To their credit, many of those games came against elite defenses, including then-No. 5 Iowa State, Cincinnati, then-No. 5 Houston, and then-No. 2 Arizona. However, Kansas had trouble generating offense in its most recent outing against Arizona State, shooting just 29.2% from the floor.  

The Jayhawks are massive favorites in this matchup, which isn’t surprising given their resume this season. Kansas State hasn’t been much better lately, losing eight of its last ten games, though the Wildcats are coming off an impressive win over a West Virginia defense that ranks second in the Big 12. Kansas State managed that victory without PJ Haggerty, who is listed as questionable heading into this matchup. The last time these two teams met, Kansas won by 24 points on the road, holding the Wildcats to just 34.4% shooting and dominating in the paint 46-18. Even though Kansas has struggled offensively as of late, this is a game they need to dominate to regain their confidence before heading into the conference tournament. Look for the Jayhawks to buckle down and win big at home to wrap up the season.
