Kansas State -5
Going KSTATE in this one for a couple of reasons. Its a practical home game for KSTATE and this is exactly what they need. In the midst of a three game skid and a couple of tough losses out of state, KSTATE comes home (kind of home) to host Souther Miss and Jeremy Wise. The main reason I'm taking KSTATE is because I honestly believe that Pullen can neutralize Wise and Clemente can bother Horton and other than these two, Southern Miss has ABSOLUTELY nobody. Strong guard play and terrible frontcourts. Something that is going to run very common in this game. I see a very small rebounding advantage with KSTATE at home and say they win this game, but it is going to be close up until the end. Wouldn't play this game as it approaches 7 or 8 (if it does) My heart doesn't want to go against Eustachy but I feel KSTATE is the right pick. They get back to their winning ways tonight, while Southern Miss still feels the ill effects of a huge blown lead against New Mexico
