Louisiana-Monroe Warhawks vs. Kansas State Wildcats Prediction
I’m on the Wildcats in this one. Louisiana-Monroe just is not a good basketball team and while some of their numbers look good on paper a lot of those numbers came against inferior competition. Manhattan is a tough place to go on the road and compete for a lot of teams as it is, and I think that the Wildcats blow out ULM here and get a big win and cover. Give me K-State.
