It’s a big night in the Big 12 this evening with the Baylor Bears hosting the 3rd ranked and undefeated Kansas Jayhawks and the 12th ranked Missouri Tigers hosting the 20th ranked Kansas State Wildcats.
Kansas vs. Baylor Preview
Kansas is one of 4 unbeaten teams in Division I, but their last few games have been close ones and the Jayhawks have not been playing their best basketball. Baylor recently had their 4-game winning streak snapped and they have not faced a ranked team all season, but they have yet to lose at home (10-0) and they have the Big 12’s leading scorer in LaceDarius Dunn (22.2 ppg). NCAA lines have Kansas as 3.5-point favorites with a total of 140.5.
In their last games both teams played on the Saturday with Kansas beating Nebraska 63-60 and Baylor losing to Iowa State 72-57.
This season neither team has been a great bet with Kansas at 7-8 ATS and Baylor at 3-6 ATS. Kansas is 4-0 ATS in the last 4 games in Baylor.
Baylor will have to slow down Jayhawks’ F Marcus Morris (16.7 ppg), who is the team’s leading scorer and has been on fire lately averaging 23.7 ppg and 11.3 rpg in his last 3 games.
The Kansas backcourt trio of Tyshawn Taylor, Tyrel Reed and Josh Selby lead an offensive attack that ranks 3rd in the nation in assists per game and 10th in the nation in scoring per game. Baylor will have to get in the passing lanes and may have to slow the pace of the game down to pull off the home upset.
LaceDarius Dunn and A.J. Walton (9.2 ppg) will have to shoot the rock well tonight and especially hold onto it as these guys rank 1st and 2nd in the Big 12 in turnovers per game.
Baylor has a solid team, but they do not match up well with the Jayhawks, especially on the boards. The Jayhawks will continue their domination of the Bears tonight and win and cover the 3.5-point spread.
Betting Trends
Kansas is 0-4 ATS in their last 4 games against teams with a winning percentage above 60% and Baylor is 1-4 ATS in their last 5 home games.
Pick: Kansas -3.5
