Kansas State Wildcats vs Baylor Bears Prediction, Odds and Picks for Today, 03/12/25

It’s a Big 12 showdown as #10 Kansas State makes its way to take on #7 Baylor after defeating Arizona State 71-66 on Tuesday.  In that matchup, Kansas State shot 50% from the field but turned the ball over 13 times — off of which the Sun Devils scored 20 points. That’s something the Wildcats simply can’t do against this Baylor team. Both teams have had their ups and downs this season, but I think Kansas State will be able to cover the spread in this matchup.

The last time these 2 teams faced, Baylor won 70-62 — but Kansas State covered. Baylor didn’t pull away until there was only a few minutes left. The Wildcats were able to contain Baylor’s offense, and they have a decent bench to keep up with the Bears in this matchup. Kansas State isn’t a great 3-point shooting team, hitting 32.9% of those shots this season, but it should be able to find success against Baylor, The Bears were in last place in the Big 12 this season, allowing opponents to shoot 35.4% from deep. Baylor shoots well from 3, hitting 35.4% of those attempts, but the Wildcats were third best in the Big 12 by holding opponents to just 31.4%. K State needs to limit the number of fouls in this matchup; it allowed Baylor to go to the line 21 times in the last matchup, something it can’t afford to do in this game. I don’t think the Wildcats will win, but I do think they can keep this game and it will come down to the last few minutes — making them my best bet of the day.
