Baylor vs. Texas
For the most exciting game of the slate, you have two Big 12 teams with tournament plans taking on each other in Austin.
Where I expect this game to be won is in the paint. Both teams’ near-proximity shooting is elite, with Baylor ranking 11th and Texas 30th. The Bears' ability to rebound at an elite level – sixth best in the nation – and capitalize is heads and shoulders above what Texas has been able to stop this season.
Both squads rank in the top 10 offensively. Texas can run and gun, scoring from anywhere inside the arc. Even if both these teams struggle to shoot the ball, there will be plenty of opportunities for putbacks and second looks.
While I am generally an analytical friendly guy, I also simply trust Baylor more right now with Scott Drew at the helm. I can't exactly quantify it, but late in the game, I would much rather go to Drew for the Xs and Os. This is a special game for y'all because I got two plays in this one.
Play: Baylor +3.5 (-110) AND Over 148 (-110)
