Baylor Bears vs. Kansas Jayhawks: Best picks and prediction
It will be a solid game between two top teams in college basketball, and if Kevin McCullar Jr. is forced to miss this contest, that will be a massive blow for the Jayhawks' offense. With how he has been discussing the nagging knee injury, it will be difficult to expect him to get into the rhythm he has been playing with throughout the year.
These defenses will make this closer than people expect, as the Bears allowed 70.0 points in their last three games while the Jayhawks gave up 68.3 points in their previous four.
All in all, go with the Baylor Bears to extend their winning streak and cover the spread against a tough Jayhawks team, whether Kevin McCullar is in the lineup or not.
