ABOUT BAYLOR (15-1, 3-1): The Bears are the nation’s top-ranked team for the first time in school history, but they are also coming off their first loss. After a 15-0 start, Baylor couldn’t keep pace with West Virginia on the road. Now it will try to bounce back in another road game against K-State. The Bears have one of the oldest lineups in the country. All five starters have been in college for four or more years.
ABOUT KANSAS STATE (13-3, 2-2): The Wildcats are hoping to stay undefeated at Bramlage Coliseum. All three of their losses have come at neutral or road sites. K-State will need a balanced offensive approach to knock off Baylor. Brown, Stokes and Wade are all quality three-point shooters, and they all may need to make shots behind the arc to beat Baylor’s zone defense. Avoiding fouls will also be important. Johnson fouled out in each of K-State’s past two losses, and Wade fouled out against Texas Tech.
