Xavier vs. K State - looks like a TRAP?

[juanitodelfuego]

I do not know about you, but watching Xavier play Pitt the way they did, I find it hard to beleive that 80% of the action is on K State for tomorrows game.

First Round Breakdown was 14-18 favs vs. Dogs and 14-18 O/U
Second Round was 9-7 favs vs. dogs and 9-7 O/U

I have to beleive that Xavier will cover, if not win.

What cha tink?

[iceminers26]

You never know it could be the reverse trap with teams containing purple in their uniforms vs Musketeers you just never know with all these bear traps out there and to answer your questions, no I don't think they cover nor do I think they win outright.

[aman86]

so you're saying xavier looks to good to be true??

[LT Profits]

Kansas State is not Pitt. No trap, line is right where it should be.

[Chi_archie]

line looks about right

[texashighroller]

Looks like a winner

[ericthegangster]

I think K state covers easily. Have you even seen a K state game this year?

[aman86]

i agree, think k-state rolls, xavier overrated imo and almost blew it and lost to pitt, k-state on fire

[TPowell]

K State= Top 5 team easily...... love them tomm.

[redrum]

k-state by 8

[jboy4]

Like Xavier+4 and half.

[EaglesPhan36]

Kansas State is not Pitt. No trap, line is right where it should be.

[thebestthereis]

yes line perfect both sides win game lands on line every time no matter what. fyi, line is not right, it is where idiot 1 and idiot 2 disagree that is why one of the idiots will win and the other will lose. lines means nothing in the outcome of this game or any game.

[mdk02]

likin k st.

[NY Playa]

K st big.....by 9 or more

[NardVa]

I think Xavier can win outright. The A10 conference is underated. Look at what Rhode Island and Dayton did in the NIT. They went on the road and beat Va Tech and Illinois to make it to the NIT Final 4. A10 teams have no problem playing with the big boys.

[frostno98]

I like Xavier with the points. Both teams are very Athletic, and I think they match up well.

I agree to an extent that the A10 is no laughing stock, even the two that lost in the first round lost to clubs that are still currently playing, St Marys and Cornell but I would not go as far as to bring Rhode Island and Dayton success in the NIT into the mix. The NIT always has upsets like this for whatever reason, lack of motivation, thinking of spring break, etc. just look at Penn St last year. I'm more focused on the fact that Kansas State is new to this taste of being one of the best and they are hungry to get it done, unlike a Kentucky or Kansas that have been there several times prior and have shown in the past a possible letdown at times. I expect Kansas State to keep their foot on the pedal from start to finish and feel they get this one done quite comfortably, looking forward to this game.

I think this is a tough game to handicap. I'm staying off this one. Xavier is better than people give them credit for, but KState is very good.

[hangar22]

i like xavier with the points and ml! the A10 is very underrated as their good teams are finally starting to play their best ball of the season.

[STAY STRONG]

leaning k state right now.

[fury]

Xavier +4.5 is the play.

[tealish]

From the title, I thought you might have meant K State looks too good here, and THAT was the trap. They'll win this one easy. Them or Ohio State are my picks to win it all.

[LT Profits]

Is everyone forgetting that Kansas State was in contention for a one-seed before losing their last two games of the season?

[jillmark]

Xavier is much better than people realize because nobody really follows them, but I think Kansas St is the better team and I think they win this one by double digits. I was not all that impressed with X's win over an over rated Pitt team. K St probably my best bet tonight.

[bluegg]

my lean is xavier as well but so many people are on it..

[slacker00]

Xavier has much better tournament experience.

K State is good, but I love taking the juice with the dogs today.

[hoopster42]

kansas losing to no iowa dropped k-state down a notch in my mind because they were 0-3 vs ku

If you're going to use that approach about the team losing to teams that have been already bumped from the tournament, Xavier lost to Marquette, Temple, and Richmond this season; all 3 out in the opening round. Also Northern Iowa is as solid as they come on the defensive side and have experience so that wasn't really that big of an upset as people think. Finally Kansas St already pumped X by 15 earlier in the season and I see no reason why it would be any different in this spot, granted its on a neutral court, but that's only good for a few points and still feel they win this one by double digits.

[Tomasitas]

Xavier shitty team,KSTATE will win in double digits KSTATE is not another shitty shitty team- pitt

[Kemalettin]

Xaiver for me!

[aman86]

now I feel more comfortable with k-state, originally i thought everybody and their moms were on it, but at least we've got some xavier backers for reasons still unclear to me but that's alright (k-state, syracuse, wash, duke this week)

Maybe you should learn how to research or read. Xavier is very underrated for such a tournament veteran team.
