Kansas Jayhawks vs Baylor Bears 1/23/2023 Picks Predictions Previews

The #2 Kansas Jayhawks will go against the #21 Baylor Bears in NCAAB action in Ferrell Center, TX, on Monday, January 23, 2023, at 9:00 PM ET.

Kansas hit its first tough patch of the season as it attempts to defend the championship it won the previous year.

With their lone defeat coming against then-No. 22 Tennessee at the end of November, the Jayhawks won 16 of their first 17 games.

After recovering, they went on a 10-game unbeaten run before last week’s losses to TCU and Kansas State. Kansas is starting a tough week that ends on Saturday at Kentucky.

Before losing to the Horned Frogs, the Jayhawks had won 16 straight home games. However, barely 11 minutes into the game, they were behind 37-15.

However, the team’s star forward Jalen Wilson had another impressive performance, scoring a career-high 30 points against Kansas State.

Wilson leads the Jayhawks in scoring and rebounding with 21.3 and 8.8 respectively. Gradey Dick, the team’s second-highest scorer (14.4), was limited to just eight points on 3 of 13 shooting against TCU.

Kansas was overall a strong offensive club this season, hitting 52.1% from behind the arc and 36.1% from beyond. The Jayhawks are good at grabbing offensive rebounds and have a low turnover rate.

This will be a challenging road game because they are a generally inexperienced club. Baylor’s defense was not strong; according to field goal %, they are ranked No. 171.

The Kansas Jayhawks are 1-4 ATS in their previous 5 games.
The Jayhawks are 17-3 SU in their last 20 matches.
Kansas is 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games with the Baylor Bears.

On Saturday, Baylor trailed the Sooners for nearly half of the game before Jalen Bridges made the game-winning 3-pointer with 1:25 left, and Adam Flagler added another down the stretch.
