Advantages Why Kansas State can win

- Strength: Kansas State rank 31st of 363 in strength of schedule (+2.6).
- Team matchup: where Kansas State can take advantage. Their shooting efficiency (67th of 363) meets the Southern Indiana shooting defense (134th), so look for them to get clean looks against a defense that gives them up.
- Star matchup: no key position clearly favors Kansas State. The closest: at forward, Chloe Gannon (Southern Indiana: 13.1 pts, 6.6 reb, 1.5 ast, Game Score 9.7) is about even with Nastja Claessens (Kansas State: 11.9 pts, 4.9 reb, 1.5 ast, Game Score 9.4).
