Kansas is red hot. They've won 7 in a row against some really good competition and have seized control of the Big 12 (just as they do every year).
Baylor is playing some good ball themselves as well. Coming off two good wins and seem to be rounding into form at the right time.
KU smoked Baylor in the first meeting this year. Tonight won't be so easy. Baylor has the length on their front line to give the Jayhawks trouble. Kansas won't simply be able to feed Ellis in the post for easy buckets tonight. They'll need to penetrate against the zone defense with their two point guards and kick it out to open shooters.
I like Baylor +2.5 here. I have a bit of trouble trusting them to make plays against the experienced Jayhawks and win if this game is tight down the stretch but they can certainly pull off the upset at home.
