Baylor (2-0) vs Kansas (1-1) Game Preview

Why Baylor Will Win

Baylor seems like it’s just a few more at-bats away from figuring it all out.

Second year head coach Dave Aranda is getting the defense working – even if the competition hasn’t exactly been stiff so far – and there’s experience talent at the skill spots to work around.

And there’s speed. That should be enough against the Jayhawks.

Kansas has had a rough time getting the defense off the field, and it’s having a harder time keeping teams from blocking kicks – three in the first two games.

There’s not enough pressure coming from the defensive front, and the offensive line isn’t doing much in pass protection. If Baylor gets up early and then gets to rely on the defense, there won’t be any problems. The O hasn’t been turning it over enough to worry.

Why Kansas Will Win

Don’t get all fired up over Baylor rolling through Texas Southern 66-7.

This is still a team that needed way too much work to get by Texas State to start the season, it’s still in a bit of a transition overall, and as weird as it sounds, Kansas is a step up in competition.

The Jayhawks are going to need a while, but they’ve started to find a few things that work.

Struggling against South Dakota wasn’t awe-inspiring, but the passing game wasn’t bad in the loss to Coastal Carolina, North Texas transfer QB Jason Bean appears to be a guy to work around for the next few years, and there’s at least some big play potential to the running game now.

Not a lot, but some. That’s a start.

What’s Going To Happen

Kansas is going to give Baylor a far tougher time than it might like.

There will be a third quarter offensive spurt from the Bears to take over, but after rolling for over 700 yards last week, the BU offense will sputter a bit for far too long.

Kansas, though, won’t have the offense to take advantage of the several opportunities to make this a battle, and then the floodgates will open.

Why Baylor Will Win

The Bears were wayyyyyyyy shaky against a bad Iowa State team, but a 21-day layoff had something to do with it. When it had to turn it on, it did in the 77-72 win.

Just assume the warmup is out of the way now.

When this thing is working, the offense is the best in college basketball – with some due respect to Gonzaga, but it doesn’t have to play in the Big 12 – with three after three after three. That was the problem against the Cyclones – it was one of the few times the Bears didn’t hit nine or more from three this year.

Kansas is fine at guarding the three and is playing well overall, but it also has a big problem turning the ball over. It’s usually able to get aways with it, but it gave it up 15 times against Baylor the first time around back in January.

But …

Why Kansas Will Win

It’s possible that Baylor really isn’t quite back yet and the Iowa State game was more than just a case of trying to shake off the rust.

No one in the Big 12 has made more threes, no one in the conference moves the ball as well, and as always, the rebounding is fantastic. For all of the amazing things Baylor does, it doesn’t get on the defensive boards as well as it needs to at times.

The Bears have the offense to make up for the problems, but if the Jayhawks get on the offensive glass – they’ve done it ten times or more five times in the last eight games – they’ve got this.

What’s Going To Happen

Baylor will start to look the part again.

As mediocre as it played against a bad Iowa State team, it wasn’t all that great in the first meeting, too. The offense will get going again from the outside in a gut-check game with a lot of energy and a ton of fun.

Kansas will lose, but it’ll look like a team that can make a whole bunch of noise when this really matters.
