As we head towards March, this current Bears’ squad is on pace to be one of the best Baylor groups of all time. However, missing from Baylor’s trophy case is a national championship.

It’s business as usual for Kansas. The Jayhawks have picked up 20 or more wins every season since 1989. That season, the Jayhawks failed to reach March Madness.

While there have been many historic teams in Kansas’ history, the current crop of Jayhawks have been turning heads this season.

Kansas owns one of the top defenses in the NCAA. Allowing just 60.7 points against per game, Kansas is ranked 8th in that category. Kansas’ offense will need to buckle up as they take on Baylor’s defense. The Bears allow 58.2 points against per game, which is 3rd in the NCAA.
