With first place in the Big 12 on the line, Baylor (15-7, 6-3) takes on Kansas State (17-5, 7-2) at 5:00 on Saturday in Waco. The game airs on ESPN2.
The Wildcats have won their last seven Big 12 games. They’re 6-0 in Big 12 games with Dean Wade, the preseason Big 12 Player of the Year.
Baylor needs a healthy Makai Mason. Scott Drew said after the Texas game that he hurt his foot earlier in the week during practice. If he’s not at full speed, this will be tough.
As always, we’ll preview playing offense against the opponent, then turn to defense.
