Free Baylor Bears vs. Kansas Jayhawks NCAAB Prediction: KU by 2
I believe Kansas comes away with the win and hands Baylor its first loss. Kansas is currently third in the Big 12 and has been playing at a high level defensively. The Jayhawks should be able to contain the 3-point shooting of the Bears and scrap a win.
