Longwood vs Kansas State Prediction
Longwood comes into this matchup after suffering their first loss of the season on Sunday, and they are shooting just 43% from the field this year. Kansas State lost by two points to Liberty on Sunday, but they have been the slightly better offensive team in this matchup. Longwood really hasn’t played anyone outside of McNeese and UAB this year, so their numbers are a little bit inflated. I do think the Lancers will put up a fight, but I expect Kansas State to pull away in the second half.
