Prediction

8-9 games are always fun, and this one looks like it will fit the bill. These two teams are pretty evenly matched, and while Creighton is favored, I like Kansas State because it looks like Dean Wade and Barry Brown should be healthy enough to play. If they can't go, Creighton is probably the right call.

Kansas State: 64
Creighton: 60
