Not to Monday Morning QB your play, but the reason that was a bad play was because MSU lives and dies by the 3. When a team does that, it can be difficult to take the other side on the moneyline. Even though Kentucky probably beats them 9 out 10 times, teams that shoot so many threes like Kansas State will have an opportunity for an upset.
I mean they could have lost by 20, but there are certains I won't go against in ML parlay.
Also, MSU leads the nation in block shots and Varnado is X factor if your team is not hitting outside shots.
