Kansas State vs LSU Prediction 11-14-24 College Basketball Picks

In this article, we will formulate a Kansas State vs LSU Prediction for this College Basketball Game on Thursday, November 14th, at the Bramlage Coliseum.

LSU Starts with Back-to-Back Wins

LSU should be coming into this next Game with confidence as they have started the season with two solid wins. In their first Game against LA-Monroe, they excelled with a nearly 90% free throw percentage. Despite 12 turnovers, they had a team total of 45 rebounds, 13 assists, and 7 blocks with 7 steals. Jalen Reed and Cam Carter led the team with 24 and 21 points respectively. 

In their second game, they were able to secure a 74-61 point win against Alabama State. Down 10 points in the second half, the Tigers were able to dig deep and find the strength to come back for the victory.  Cam Carter continued to dominate as a high scorer with 21 points followed by Jordan Sears who put up 18. Their 3-point percentage of 35% was still much more impressive than Alabama State’s 5%. They will hope to keep this momentum going into their next game against Kansas State. 

Kansas State Has Confidence

In their first game against New Orleans, Kansas State started off playing catch-up early in the first half, at one point down by 10. With four minutes left in the first half, Brendan Hausen was able to shift the momentum for Kansas State by making 3/3 free throws followed by two 3-point baskets to bring them ahead.  Once they secured that lead they didn’t look back. David N’Guessan led the team with 21 points, with Max Jones and Brendan Hausen close behind with 19 and 17 points, respectively. 

In Game two, they faced off against Cleveland State. They had a great three-point percentage of 52.6%, a field goal percentage of 57.8%, and a free throw percentage of 57.7%. Hausen again proved to be the star, putting up 22 points. Coleman Hawkins and David N’Guessan followed Hausen with 12 points each. This Kansas State team seemed to be sharing the shots, putting the pressure on with defensive rebounds (18 total), and throwing up solid blocks with 6 total against Cleveland State.  Kansas State will have to keep this energy moving to attempt to give LSU their first loss. KSU will face Mississippi Valley State after this one.
