When it comes to Baylor, Kansas basketball will have to focus on stopping Jared Butler, who’s been on a tear this season. The sophomore guard is averaging 16.3 points per game and shooting an impeccable 90.2% from the free throw line. He had an off game against the Red Raiders, but the Jayhawks shouldn’t count on two in a row.
Kansas also has defensive expert Marcus Garrett, who shut down NBA draft prospect Tyrese Haliburton last Wednesday against Iowa State. Garrett can guard anybody, and it wouldn’t be surprising if he was put on Butler.
If Kansas can replicate their offensive performance from Iowa State against Baylor, they should have no problems getting the win. The Jayhawks have been proving that they’re an elite defensive team this year, so getting the offensive variable to fall into place is the key for this squad.
