Kansas @ Baylor

Current Records: Kansas 23-4; Baylor 23-5

What to Know

The #10 Baylor Bears and the #5 Kansas Jayhawks are set to square off in a Big 12 matchup at 8 p.m. ET Feb. 26 at Ferrell Center. These two teams seek to continue their momentum from their previous wins.

Last Monday, Baylor narrowly escaped with a win as the squad sidled past the Oklahoma State Cowboys 66-64. Guard Adam Flagler took over for the Bears, finishing with 29 points (a whopping 44% of their total).

Meanwhile, Kansas didn't have too much trouble with the Kansas State Wildcats at home last week as they won 102-83. Kansas got their victory on the backs of several key players, and it was guard Christian Braun out in front picking up 20 points and five assists along with seven boards.

Barring any buzzer beaters, Baylor is expected to win a tight contest this past Saturday. Those sticking with them against the spread have guts, to put it politely, as the team has let down bettors in their past three games.

Baylor is now 23-5 while the Jayhawks sit at 23-4. A pair of stats to keep in the back of your head while watching: The Bears rank 29th in college basketball when it comes to points allowed per game, with only 63 on average. But Kansas comes into the matchup boasting the 14th most points per game in college basketball at 80. These opposing strengths should make for an exciting matchup.
