Kansas State vs Florida College Basketball Odds: Two Top 25 teams meet in the Orange Bowl Classic at Sunrise, Florida as the #6 Kansas State Wildcats (9-1) versus #24 Florida (7-2). Kansas State is favored by -1 ½ in a college basketball picks contest that features two teams that have trouble scoring, so this should be a closely-played, tight college basketball picks contest.

The only loss Kansas State has suffered all season was to #1 Duke and, since, the team has reeled off five straight victories against less-than stellar competition. Kansas State has struggled at times scoring points and shooting, but they are one of the best rebounding teams in the nation. The team is led by a core of senior leaders including guard Jacob Pullen, who leads the team with 16.3 PPG, and forward Curtis Kelly with 11.6 PPG. Sophomore guard Rodney McGruder has added 11 PPG and 6.2 RPG.

Florida is one of the lowest scoring and rebounding teams in the nation but, when they shoot, they are accurate. The Gators have lost to #5 Ohio State University and the University of Central Florida, but can count Florida State among one of their seven wins. Florida State features a balanced offense. Junior guard Erving Walker and sophomore guard Kenny Bonton lead the team in scoring with 12 points each, while forwards Vernon Macklin and Chandler Parsons averages 10 points.
