Two games against conference opponents had Baylor scoring only in the 70s and
winning by a margin only in the teens.  That brought down their performance statistic
significantly.  Meanwhile, a lopsided loss and a lopsided win has Kansas with the
conference's worst consistency rating by a wide margin.

At least Kansas has a good trend, though not statistically significant.
Mental toughness statistic isn't great, but also not statistically significant.
