College Basketball pick today: Florida Atlantic Owls +2 over Kansas State Wildcats (-110), 6:09 pm ET
FAU is the recommended side in this matchup as the Owls have a few key advantages that could prove to be the difference in a game between evenly matched teams. The first edge the Owls should be able to exploit is their offensive rebounding against Kansas State's weak defensive rebounding.
The other edge FAU has on paper is the ability to defend in transition. Both teams rank in the top 70 in transition offense frequency according to Synergy, but FAU is much better at defending in transition. Per Synergy, the Owls grade in the 95th percentile in transition defense, while Kansas State ranks in just the 21st percentile.'It's possible Markquis Nowell will go superhuman again and lead the Wildcats to victory, but Florida Atlantic has more paths to the win in this matchup.
