Bramlage Coliseum Showdown: Kansas State Wildcats vs North Alabama Lions
As the Kansas State Wildcats gear up to face the North Alabama Lions at Bramlage Coliseum, fans are buzzing with anticipation. The Wildcats have been on a tear recently, and their performance in past games suggests that they're not slowing down anytime soon.
In their last outing on November 29th against the Oral Roberts Golden Eagles, KSU put up an impressive 88 points in an overtime thriller. Their offense was firing on all cylinders, shooting 44 percent from the field and an outstanding 83 percent from the free-throw line. With a rebounding advantage of 43 to the Golden Eagles' 26 and a solid assist-to-turnover ratio of 1.5, it's clear that Kansas State is playing cohesive basketball.
The game prior to that saw KSU hit triple digits against Central Arkansas Bears on November 23rd. Dominating both halves, they finished with a whopping total of 100 points while shooting over half their attempts successfully from the field at a rate of nearly 51 percent. Their dominance in paint was evident with them scoring more than half their points there and outrebounding Central Arkansas by a staggering margin – grabbing 63 rebounds to just 28.
Even though they faced defeat against Miami (FL) Hurricanes ranked number twelve at that time during November's championship game, KSU still managed to score heavily with an impressive tally of points in paint at fifty-six which accounted for more than two-thirds of their total score for that game.
The upcoming match-up presents another opportunity for KSU to showcase its offensive prowess and rebounding strength. The North Alabama Lions will need to bring their A-game if they hope to contain this high-powered offense led by Kansas State's relentless attack inside.
However, it would be unwise for Wildcat fans or players themselves to overlook UNA entirely; every team has potential for surprise performances and no victory is guaranteed until the final buzzer sounds. But given recent form and home-court advantage at Bramlage Coliseum where passionate fans will undoubtedly create an intimidating atmosphere for any visiting team – it seems likely we'll see another strong showing from KSU.
