What you need to know about Kansas State

Kansas State has bounced back from a three-game losing skid with consecutive wins over Oklahoma State and TCU. The Wildcats are getting close to the NCAA Tournament bubble conversation, so a win over a ranked opponent would certainly help the cause. They went on a 15-2 run on Saturday after TCU trimmed the lead to 39-37 with just under 17 minutes remaining. 

Their top five scorers are guards, paced by Nijel Pack's 17.0 points per game. Markquis Nowell is scoring 11.0 points, while Mark Smith is adding 11.6 points and 8.4 rebounds. Kansas State is currently without fourth-leading scorer Selton Miguel, who is sidelined with an ankle injury. The Wildcats have covered the spread in five of their last seven games. 

What you need to know about Baylor

Baylor is coming off its most disappointing game of the season, getting blown out in an 83-59 loss at then-No. 10 Kansas. The Bears fell behind 21-7 in the early going and trailed by as many as 34 points in the second half. They were without leading scorer LJ Cryer, who has missed three straight games with a foot injury. 

Cryer (13.9 points per game) is questionable to return on Wednesday night. The Bears have a balanced lineup, as James Akinjo (12.9), Adam Flagler (12.8) and Kendall Brown (10.1) are all averaging double digits as well. They have won 12 of their last 15 road games and are on a six-game winning streak against Kansas State.
