Scott Drew says No. 2 Baylor lacking rhythm, conditioning in loss to Kansas after COVID-19 pauses - ESPN

2 Baylor's first loss of the season on Saturday night, a 71-58 defeat at No.

17 Kansas, coach Scott Drew acknowledged the COVID-19 protocols that sidelined the Bears for 21 days are his basketball team's "kryptonite.".

1-shooting team in the country, and we'll get back to that," Drew said.

The Bears shot just 8-for-25 from behind the arc in their first game back, a come-from-behind win at Iowa State on Tuesday.

"Anyone that's had COVID would know when you come back you're probably not 100 percent," Drew said.

Baylor guard Jared Butler, the Bears' Wooden Award candidate, went just 2-for-9 from the field on Saturday and scored five points before fouling out.

"First, you gotta give credit to Marcus," Drew said.

"Let's give him credit for really helping Kansas, especially the last six, seven games, they've really been playing at a high level," Drew said.

The Jayhawks have held seven straight opponents to fewer than one point per possession, and Baylor's 58 points on Saturday were the lowest the Bears have scored all season.

2 in the country in next week's AP poll for the first time all season, and the Bears have a difficult three-game stretch to finish the regular season: at West Virginia on Tuesday, home against Oklahoma State on Thursday and home versus Texas Tech on Sunday

We just gotta be better."
