Score Prediction

Trent Knoop

Kansas has a bottom-five discourtesy successful nan Big 12, but has 1 of nan apical defenses. The Jayhawks' defense only allows nan force to sprout 28% from 3 and 38% from nan section -- nan champion successful some areas.

Baylor's rumor this play has been slow starts. The Bears started quicker against Oklahoma State, which resulted successful a win, but a slow commencement against Kansas could spell trouble. The Bears had a bully outing from Tounde Yessoufou this past game, and Baylor will request different bully crippled from him and Cameron Carr. Assuming Dan Skillings Jr. doesn't play, nan Bears will request a 3rd subordinate to measurement up -- Isaac Williams?

The Jayhawks' apical action is freshman sensation Darryn Peterson, who is coming disconnected an injury. He has playmakers astir him for illustration Tre White and Melvin Council.

If Baylor is going to triumph this game, a accelerated commencement is needed, on pinch slowing down Peterson connected nan protect extremity of nan court. But until Baylor tin beryllium it tin triumph nan large one, I person to spell pinch Kansas successful a adjacent 1 astatine home.

Final score: Kansas 78, Baylor 71

Jacob Haddadin

Every crippled successful nan Big 12 is simply a “must-win,” but walking to Phog Allen to play Kansas is 1 that tin beryllium chalked up arsenic a loss. Baylor would request different outlier, statistically awesome shooting capacity to triumph successful Lawrence this weekend, and I simply do not spot that happening. Darryn Peterson has been connected occurrence since returning from injury, and though playing constricted minutes, has been highly efficient. He is nan champion subordinate Baylor will person faced truthful far, and I expect him to ray it up erstwhile again.

Final score: Kansas 78, Baylor 65
