#640 ASA FREE PLAY ON Kansas State pick-em over Baylor, Tuesday at 8 PM ET - KSU is coming off a tough 1 point loss @ Texas Tech in a game they led by double digits in the 2nd half. The Cats have won 23 of their last 25 home games and face a Baylor team that has played only ONE true road game this season. That was an OT win for the Bears @ Okie State who ranks as the 2nd worst team in the Big 12 per KenPom ahead of only WVU. The only other sort of true road game the Bears played was vs Michigan State in Detroit and they lost that game by 24 points. Baylor leads the nation in 3 point shooting percentage hitting nearly 44% of their triples which absolutely has to regress. We’ve actually seen that regression in Big 12 play as they are hitting just under 30% of their triples in their 3 conference games. The vast majority of their games have been at home which helps the shooting percentage but in their road games (the 2 listed above) the Bears made only 8 of their 34 three point attempts. KSU struggled at times early in the year as they were meshing a number of new high level transfers into their starting line up. This team is now trending up winning 9 of their last 11 games and they had a very solid 14-2 Texas Tech team on the ropes on the road Saturday before losing by 1 point. In their 3 Big 12 games KSU ranks 2nd in the conference in offensive efficiency and 2nd in defensive efficiency while Baylor sits at 6th in both of those metrics in league play. Wildcat head coach Jerome Tang was an assistant coach @ Baylor for 20 years thru 2022 season bringing some extra motivation here. He beat Baylor in both meetings last season and we expect another win here for Tang and the Wildcats.
