Two Big 12 college basketball programs hungry for wins are set to collide on Tuesday, Feb. 7 when the No. 12 Kansas State Wildcats host the No. 17 TCU Horned Frogs.

Kansas State looks to avoid back-to-back home losses following a 69-66 loss to then-No. 10 Texas over the weekend. Meanwhile, TCU has lost two of its last three games, most recently falling 79-73 to Oklahoma State in a game that saw the Horned Frogs only shoot 41.9% from the field and 27.3% from the three-point line.

Does Kansas State possess what it takes to get the job done? Or will TCU find a way to avoid its third consecutive road loss?

Kansas State vs TCU Prediction & Pick

TCU has struggled on the road throughout the 2022-23 campaign. The Horned Frogs have lost four of their last five away matchups, losing by at least two possessions in each loss. It doesn't help that their defense goes from allowing 61.3 PPG at home to a 72.0 PPG clip on the road.

Meanwhile, Kansas State is tough to beat at home. On top of an 11-1 record at Bramlage Coliseum, the Wildcats average 74.5 PPG with a plus-13.8 scoring margin at home. They also only surrender 60.7 PPG in Manhattan, KS and have kept the Horned Frogs to a 60.3 PPG clip over their last four visits.

It's going to be a close-fought matchup, but Kansas State's defense and strong play at home gives the Wildcats the edge.

Final Score Prediction: Kansas State: 75 | TCU: 72

Kansas State vs TCU Best Bet

Even though Kansas State and TCU are both capable of putting up a lot of points, I'm siding with the under on the 149.5-point total. After all, the under is 11-4 in the last 15 Wildcats-Horned Frogs matchups, as well as 5-0 in the last five games between these Big 12 rivals at Bramlage Coliseum.

Considering how Kansas State and TCU have only averaged 124.2 points in their last five meetings in Manhattan, it's clear that backing the under is the way to go.

Bet: Under 149.5 Points (-114)
