Kansas Basketball: 2019-20 keys to a Jayhawks home win over Baylor

2. The Jayhawks’ three-point efficiency will be a key

Kansas doesn’t attempt a ton of three-pointers as a part of their offense, just 272 on the season but they make 36.8% of them and this is an area they can exploit against Baylor. The Bears have allowed opponents to shoot 31% from distance this season.

It’s not that the percentage is bad, it is actually very good, but because Baylor is so good defensively but only averages 74 points per game compared to Kansas’ 79. If Kansas can use the long ball a bit more in this one and shoot a decent percentage, they might be able to put a little bit of distance between them and the Bears on the scoreboard and put more pressure on the Baylor offense.

As I said Kansas doesn’t take a lot of three-pointers only attempting 272 in their 14 games, but they do make 37% of them so it can be a weapon for them. Devon Dotson, Ochai Agbaji and Isaiah Moss are the only players to attempt more than 50. While Dotson shoots just 32%, Agbaji and Moss have been very strong from beyond the arc, shooting 49 for 123 including knocking down 41% over their last three games. If Kansas can be successfully judicious with their three-point shooting, it could help lead them to a victory on Saturday.
