THE HOT CORNER
Mal Van Valkenburg, Review-Journal, 56-43-3 (overall record)
Today’s best bet: Kansas State (+9½) over TEXAS
Kansas State has been playing better lately, and the Wildcats are on a four-game winning streak. In their last five games, Kansas State is averaging 71.6 points, while giving up 63. Texas has hit a bump in the road, losing two of its last three games. The Longhorns might win the game, but it will be a stretch for them to do it by double digits.
