Wilson has been on a tear, even with the Jayhawks losing back-to-back games for the first time this season. The redshirt junior put up 38 and 30 points, respectively, in the losses to Kansas State and TCU last week. He has also finished with over 8.5 rebounds in three of his past five games.
“I mean, yeah, it was good but when you don’t win, it kind of just takes all of that away,” Wilson said after the Kansas State loss, per 247 Sports. “The feeling really isn’t there. We’ve won a lot of games like that and I don’t know if it just caught up with us playing teams close. We’ve got to find a way to win, win games like that.”
Wilson will likely continue to stay aggressive against Baylor on Monday night, but it will be hard to continue the rebounding numbers against a tough Baylor frontcourt. Baylor has been one of the top rebounding teams in the nation all season long, ranking ninth in opponents’ rebounds per game (31.0).
Wilson and his Kansas squad will be looking to make a statement that they are still among the nation’s elites despite two tough losses, but there is plenty of value in fading one Wilson player prop.
