The Big 12 has been putting on a show basically every night for the last two months, and that trend continues on Tuesday when #9 Baylor visits #14 Kansas State. These teams are #3 and #4 in the conference standings so as we head towards March this is a very important game not only for conference seeding but for each school’s NCAA Tournament resume.
Before Betting on Baylor vs Kansas State
Baylor had a gut check game on Saturday after they were on a streak of 10 wins in 11 games but that didn’t go so well in an 87-71 loss at Kansas as +5.5 underdogs. Jayhawks coach Bill Self figured something out at halftime, going into the break down 45-32 before outscoring the Bears 55-26 over the final 20 minutes.
Kansas State hopes that Baylor’s second half meltdown in Lawrence has residual effects an hour West in Manhattan. KSU has also lost four of their last six but are still just two games back of the Jayhawks for the Big 12 regular season title. K-State is coming off a solid 61-55 victory over Iowa State on Saturday which pushed their home record to 14-1 on the season.
Baylor is #2 in scoring offense in the Big 12, but also the second worst defensive team in the conference. KSU has a top 20 defensive efficiency squad, but have two very potent scorers in Keyontae Johnson (17.4 ppg) and Markquis Nowell (16.9 ppg).

Baylor vs Kansas State Prediction & Pick
Baylor has been great lately with wins in 10 of their last 12, but should they be favored on the road against a team that has just one loss on their own court this season? This game looks very easy to overthink, but the lean has to be towards the Wildcats getting the points at home.
