Who’s Playing
Kansas @ Baylor
Current Records: Kansas 16-3; Baylor 14-5
What to Know
After two games on the road, the #21 Baylor Bears are heading back home. Baylor and the #2 Kansas Jayhawks will face off in a Big 12 battle at 9 p.m. ET Monday at Ferrell Center. The teams split their matchups last year, with the Jayhawks winning the first 83-59 at home and Baylor taking the second 80-70.
It was a close one, but this past Saturday Baylor sidestepped the Oklahoma Sooners for a 62-60 win. The top scorer for Baylor was guard Adam Flagler (16 points).
Meanwhile, Kansas has to be aching after a bruising 83-60 loss to the TCU Horned Frogs this past Saturday. That makes it the first time this season Kansas has let down their home crowd. One thing holding the Jayhawks back was the mediocre play of guard Gradey Dick, who did not have his best game: he played for 33 minutes but put up just eight points on 3-for-13 shooting.
Barring any buzzer beaters, the Bears are expected to win a tight contest. Those playing the odds have seen things go back and forth with Baylor, who are 9-10 against the spread.
Baylor’s victory lifted them to 14-5 while Kansas’ defeat dropped them down to 16-3. We’ll see if Baylor can repeat their recent success or if Kansas bounces back and reverse their fortune.
