The meeting between North Texas Mean Green and the Kansas State Wildcats will be this Thursday at Ford Center.

North Texas is a scoring dream when hot, but too often loses focus and get sloppy. Odufwa is physical and able to score, but White is the leader. Along with Thompson, they form a potent duo at the betting line. Tramiel seems to have leveled off potential wise, but still is dependable. While the cast is there, it’s probably going to take another year of seasoning for them to really cook in the betting tournament.

Kansas State plays with passion which sometimes makes up for the lack of scoring, but has dropped games to much weaker opponents. At least the defense is a wall, and that will lead them if they can find points. Pullen is good for 19 points, and Clemente, when hot, can be counted on for 25. Samuels has talent and can be a threat, but doesn’t show it often enough. To win they need to keep relying defense and on turnover points, the question is will there be enough of them?
