The Baylor Bears and Kansas State Wildcats are set to clash on Tuesday, with both teams desperate to break recent losing streaks. Baylor has struggled significantly, losing three straight and 10 of its last 13 games after a strong start to the season.
Kansas State's slide has been even more pronounced, resulting in the dismissal of head coach Jerome Tang on Sunday. Matthew Driscoll has been appointed interim head coach and will lead the Wildcats for the first time in this conference game.
Last season, Baylor swept the series against Kansas State, winning by eight points in the regular season and 14 in the Big 12 Tournament. Baylor's Cameron Carr leads the team with 19.2 points per game and is a key player to watch.
