Baylor Bears vs. No. 24 Kansas State Wildcats Preview
Tonight in a Big 12 match up a struggling Kansas State (13-7) team hosts Baylor (13-5). NCAAB lines have Kansas State as 5.5-point favorites in this game with a total of 137.
In their last games both teams played on Saturday with Baylor beating Oklahoma State 76-57 while Kansas State lost to Texas A&M 64-56.
Many thought Kansas State had a legit chance to win the tough Big 12 and go far in the Big Dance, but they have not gotten off to a good start in conference play and they have lost 4 of their last 5 games all Big 12 contests. Baylor is 3-2 in Big 12 play and they stopped their 2-game losing streak in their win over OSU on Saturday.
Both teams have not been good bets this season, as Baylor is 4-7 ATS and Kansas State is 4-10 ATS. In the last 12 games between these 2 Big 12 rivals the underdog has covered the spread 10 times.
Both teams are led by star guards in Baylor’s LaceDarius Dunn (21.3 ppg) and Kansas State’s Jacob Pullen (18 ppg). Pullen has to snap out of his shooting slump tonight for the Wildcats to win. He has only shot 11/30 in the last 2 Wildcats’ losses and in the loss to Texas A&M he scored 21 points, but he was only 7/19 from the floor.
Dunn and backcourt mate A.J. Walton (9.1 ppg) are both shooting over 41% from 3-pt land they will have to shoot the ball deep tonight, as the Bears are outmanned in the paint.
The Wildcats rank 12th in the nation in rebounds per game and they have 5 guys that are averaging at least 4 boards per game.
The last 2 losses by Kansas State were both on the road and both against ranked teams. In those losses they combined to turn the ball over 40 times and they have to hold onto the rock tonight and bang the ball inside.
Kansas State is 1-1 at home in Big 12 play and they will come out tonight and play well, especially on the boards. Dunn will have a good game, but the Wildcats will beat the Bears in the paint and that will be the difference. Kansas State will win this game and cover the 5-point spread.
Betting Trends
Baylor is 2-5 ATS in their last 7 games and 1-8 ATS in their last 9 games and has an Under record of 6-2 in their last 8 games.
Pick: Kansas State
