Can Kansas State Make a Run?

Kansas State knows to make the tournament, they are going to have to win this tournament, and they have made it one step of the way with their win on Tuesday. Kansas State faced off against Arizona State and came out on top 77-61. Kansas State shot 50 percent from the field and 44.4 percent from behind the three-point line, and if they can continue to shoot like that, they can win this game, too. Guard Coleman Hawkins had a huge game, putting up 26 points, eight rebounds, and two assists. About time he finally started to pace the team, for how much they paid him this offseason. 

Kansas State sits with a 16-16 record overall, and during conference play, they have gone 10-11. Kansas State is averaging 71.3 points while their defense is giving up 69.7 points per game. The defense is ranked 105th, but if they want to succeed in this game, they are going to need the defense to be even better. David N’Guessan has been the top player, averaging 13.3 points while shooting 63.8 percent from the field. 

Disappointing Year for Baylor

It has been a disappointing year for Baylor, but everything is still in front of them, and they have the talent to make a run. In two games against TCU, Baylor secured a 61-58 victory, but in the last game, it wasn’t as strong. Baylor scored only 61 points against Houston and they lost by four. Baylor shot only 33.9 percent from the field and only 31 percent from behind the arc. V.J. Edgecombe had a strong game putting up 23 points, five rebounds, and two assists. 

Baylor has an 18-13 record overall, and they have been far too inconsistent all over the court. Baylor, on the season, is averaging 76.7 points, while their defense is giving up 69.7 points per game. The stats for the offense have been good but there have been games where the offense has gone ice cold. Getting out to a fast start, especially against a team with tired legs, will be a major key here. Norchad Omier is averaging 15.6 points while shooting 56.8 percent from the field and 30.6 percent from behind the three-point line. 

Kansas State vs Baylor Prediction

Kansas State finally showed some signs of life on Tuesday, and that is something they can build on. The biggest takeaway was the play of Coleman Hawkins, which he can build on in this game. Baylor is averaging 76.7 points per game, but I still don’t trust they are going to have their best game of the season. Baylor scored 61 points against Houston in the last game, and although they might score a few more points, they aren’t going to pull away. I wouldn’t be shocked if Kansas State wins their second game in as many days, but we will take the points. Back Kansas State against the spread.
