ABOUT KANSAS STATE (19-12, 8-10): The Wildcats enter the Big 12 Tournament as the conference’s only bubble team. They may or may not have done enough already to earn an at-large bid to the NCAA Tournament, but most think a victory over Baylor would lock up a spot. K-State has won back-to-back games and beat Baylor the last time they met in Waco, Texas. The Wildcats raced to a 37-22 halftime lead and held on to win 56-54. Johnson made a pair of late defensive plays to preserve the victory.
ABOUT BAYLOR (25-6, 12-6): The Bears finished in a tie for second in the Big 12 standings with West Virginia and Iowa State, claiming the tournament’s No. 3 seed. They are 5-5 in their last 10 games, including a home loss to K-State. But they have won three of their last four, including a victory over the Mountaineers. Motley was chosen first-team All-Big 12 after averaging a double-double in the regular season.
