Big 12 Tournament: Day 3 preview and picks

Baylor Bears vs. Kansas Jayhawks (-5.5, N/A)
THE STORY: Baylor is the only team to knock off league power Kansas in the Big 12 tournament since 2005. The top-seeded Jayhawks will have to avoid the same fate to keep alive their hopes of a sixth tournament title in seven years at Kansas City. Kansas dominated two meetings during the regular season, winning by an average of 16 points. The Jayhawks have won 16 of their last 17 Big 12 tournament games, while Baylor has made the final only once, losing to Missouri in the 2009 championship.


TRENDS:- Baylor is 11-24 against the spread in its last 35 Big 12 games.
- The under is 8-1 in Kansas' last nine neutral-site games.
- Kansas is 1-5-1 against the spread in its last seven following an ATS win.

TIP-INS:


1. Kansas forward Thomas Robinson, the Big 12 Player of the Year, had 19 points and 10 rebounds against the Aggies for his 23rd double-double of the season.

2. Baylor is 22-1 when leading at the half.

3. Jones' 31 points against Kansas State matched Baylor's school record for a Big 12 tournament game, tying Curtis Jerrells' performance against Missouri in 2007.

PICK: Jayhawks ---
