Considering the loss that the Jayhawks are coming off, it can be easy to move past them. However, this game is in Texas and that will bode well for them. Along with that, they are coming off five days of rest while Baylor had a hard win just a day ago.
Kansas have a hard time shooting consistently from outside the three-point line. Meanwhile, the Bears are elite both offensively and defensively. They lead the Big 12 in both offense and defense this season.
