With Kansas being a game back of both Kansas State and Texas Tech in the Big 12 standings, it is looking more and more as if the Jayhawks may not win at least a share of the regular-season conference crown for the first time since 2005.

Though Kansas State has to hit the road Monday, it is catching a TCU team with a thin bench that has been having its issues on offense as of late.

For the season, TCU is 115th in the country in offensive efficiency, which is a massive dip recently considering the Horned Frogs were 39th among Division I teams in that category on Jan. 18.

Kansas State has done the exact opposite with six of its past nine games going over the total and covering all but one of them.

While Kansas State is eighth in the country in defensive efficiency, the Wildcats shot nearly 40 percent from 3-point range since the start of February to ignite the offense.

The first time these two met, TCU lost in Manhattan, Kan., 65-55, despite Kansas State shooting just 3-of-15 from 3-point range.

TCU turned the ball over 18 times in that game and has been averaging 15.5 turnovers the past six games.

With Kansas State having allowed more than 65 points just once in its past 14 games, going 10-4 against the spread in that stretch, TCU faces an uphill battle. Road games in conference are typically not easy to cover, but it helps that TCU is 5-11 against the spread in conference play this year and 1-4 against the spread at home since the start of February.

The play: Kansas State, -1 .
