If Harlem’s Markquis Nowell sticks to throwing dimes and running the pick-and-roll — instead of playing hero ball with deep and contested 3-point attempts — the Wildcats will reach the Final Four for the first time since 1964.
Gametime: 6:09 p.m. Eastern
TV: TBS
Live Stream: March Madness Live app, fuboTV, Sling, YouTube TV, Hulu + Live TV
The Owls have the balance and depth to come out on top, but the 34-win mid-major hasn’t yet played an offense with the ceiling and consistency of Kansas State’s fast-paced attack.
Florida Atlantic struggled from 3-point range, going 8-for-27 against Tennessee’s top-ranked perimeter defense.
The Wildcats, who have held opponents to less than 30 percent 3-point shooting this season, will cause similar problems.
Kansas State has also posted the nation’s fifth-best record against the spread (24-11), while winning every single game outright in which it was the moneyline favorite.
