Baylor vs Kansas State Game Preview

Why Baylor Will Win

Did the Kansas State offense get better over the last few games?

The Wildcats got rocked 74-49 in late January, and they continue to be dead last in the Big 12 in scoring.

They don’t have enough of a defensive inside presence – they don’t block any shots – and they don’t get enough offensive rebounds.

Baylor doesn’t have to take too many chances. Get on the move, pick up the pace, and do what it does from the outside – and plan on getting several second chances – and there shouldn’t be too much of a problem as long as Kansas State doesn’t start getting hot from the outside.

Why Kansas State Will Win

How do you beat Baylor? No, Kansas State doesn’t have the talent of Alabama or Kansas, but both of them were able to hit their shots. The same went for West Virginia, who lost in Waco last week, but was red hot from the field.

Baylor is in a bit of a lull defensively. It’s allowed teams to hit close to 55% from the field over the last three games, and while Kansas State doesn’t have that inside presence, it’ll slow things down and make the possessions count.

Kansas State is 7-0 when it hits 46% or more from the field. That’s not totally out of the question if Baylor is lagging with its third road game in the last four dates.

What’s Going To Happen

It’s not going to be the total wipeout of the first game, but Baylor will get the job done by hitting just enough from three in the second half and cleaning up on the inside.

Kansas State isn’t a rock at home, but outside of a blowout to Texas, it pushed Kansas and Marquette in the other two losses by a combined four points.

Baylor will try to get out fast, Kansas State will slow it down. Baylor will get the burst Kansas State won’t.

Baylor vs Kansas State Game Preview

Why Baylor Will Win

Baylor is knee-deep in the mix now for the Big 12 Championship.

It might have two losses in conference play, but with the 27-14 win over Oklahoma, it’s in with wins over Kansas State and Texas Tech and with a Sooner loss to either Iowa State this week or Oklahoma State next week.

For now, dealing with Kansas State will be tough enough.

The Bears have found something special on the ground with Abram Smith and Trestan Ebner paving the way for the nation’s fourth-best rushing attack. They crushed Oklahoma for close to 300 yards, ran for close to 1,000 yards over the last four games, and now it goes against a defense that’s statistically terrific, but only faced one truly strong ground attack.

Kansas State allowed 210 yards to Iowa State and Breece Hall back in mid-October, and lost by 13. The team might be on a four-game winning roll, but that’s after losing to three of the four Big 12 stars, Oklahoma State, Oklahoma, and Iowa State.

However …

Why Kansas State Will Win

The Wildcat run defense really is that good.

Yes, the schedule hasn’t been quite as nasty over the last month, but the Wildcats haven’t allowed more than 17 points in any of the last three games, held down Texas Tech, and it’s been good enough to stay in every game, even the three losses.

It’s not that Baylor can’t throw – it lit up West Virginia and it’s been efficient when needed – but it wants to rumble on the ground.

No, it hasn’t faced any ground games as strong as Baylor’s, but any time you’re allowing fewer than 160 rushing yards in eight of ten games you’re doing something right. Oklahoma State and Iowa State were the only two teams to get over 400 yards, and now Baylor has to be ready to get into a brawl.

What’s Going To Happen

Kansas State has flown a bit under the radar.

It bowed out of the Big 12 title chase with a three-game losing streak in the middle of the season, and then it quietly started winning again to keep the potential alive for a ten-win season.

But Baylor’s defense was able get out against a strong BYU, it was able to roll by West Virginia, shock Oklahoma, and …

Baylor lost at TCU, it lost at Oklahoma State, and the two road wins were in a struggle over Texas State – at least a wee bit of one – and in a blowout over Kansas.

Kansas State will come up with a terrific performance in the home finale.

Why Kansas State Will Win

Kansas State has kicked it in at the right time.

After losing 13 straight games, the Wildcats won four of their last five games including a shocker over Oklahoma and a first round Big 12 Tournament victory over TCU.

The defense was decent for most of the year, but it stepped up the intensity against the Horned Frogs, holding them to just 21% from three while moving the ball around well to get up in the first half and roll through the second in the 71-50 win.

Baylor – as amazing it is – isn’t all that great at guarding the three, isn’t going to dominate on the boards, and …

Why Baylor Will Win

Baylor 107, Kansas State 59. That was the first meeting at the end of January, hitting 58% from the field and 61% from three as it ripped through without any issues.

Baylor hasn’t been able to quite get its groove totally back since missing 21 days in February, but it’s still scoring at will and it’s still hitting everything on the inside – it made over half its shots in the last three games and nailed 63% from the outside in the win over Texas Tech.

The ball movement was back against the Red Raiders, the rebounding was dominant, and …

What’s Going To Happen

Kansas State won’t be able to keep up.

The Wildcats have been ultra-plucky over the last few games, but Baylor will jump out to a big early lead, hit a few three late in a first half run, and will move on without having to push terribly hard.

Why Kansas State Will Win

The Kansas State defense really does have its moments. It’s struggling overall, and the offense isn’t doing enough to keep up, but the D isn’t awful at defending the three.

The Wildcats try to make up for their lack of shots from three with a whole lot of good, extra passing to try getting the easier shots. Baylor is just okay on the defensive boards, it takes a team that’s good at moving the ball around to give it a run, and …

Why Baylor Will Win

Kansas State just doesn’t score enough.

The first meeting with the Bears was a 100-69 blasting when BU hit everything in sight from the outside and nothing else mattered. Baylor is playing at another level with the ability to turn it on when needed – like it did to pull away from Oklahoma State – and the team is hitting everything.

It’s the best-shooting team in the nation from the outside, it doesn’t make the mistake to give away easy baskets, and …

What’s Going To Happen

Baylor is going to roll again.

Kansas State is able to be plucky for a while, and it’ll make a push for at least a half, but the Bears will go on an impressive second half run to pull away and make this another dominant win.

It won’t be a whole lot prettier than the win in Manhattan back in February.
