A big game in The Little Apple will take place Saturday as Kansas State plays host to the slumping 10th-ranked Iowa State Cyclones in Manhattan, Kansas, for both teams’ regular-season finale. The game is an afternoon tip on CBS, and K-State looks to keep its momentum rolling after rebounding from a four-game losing skid to end February.
Iowa State enters the game equally motivated after losses in three of its last four games, culminating with a double-overtime loss at home Tuesday to BYU. The Cyclones began the month of February with a jarring 19-point loss at home to Kansas State, and a win to avenge that loss could springboard them to postseason play with a spring in their step.

Iowa State vs. Kansas State prediction, picks
All odds via SportsLine consensus
Iowa State’s been dealt a rough hand the last few months with injuries to various players scattered throughout the schedule, leading to some inconsistencies after a 17-2 start. But coach T.J. Otzelberger said after the loss to BYU on Tuesday that being consistent is a choice and a byproduct of good habits. They should be plenty motivated after a gut-wrenching double-overtime loss to BYU, and I expect the Cyclones will be more than prepped for this one after a rough couple weeks. Pick: Iowa State -7.5
