Baylor vs. Syracuse

Premium Pick

Both of these teams were fortunate to make the NCAA Tournament as both have faltered down the stretch. Syracuse has to be concerned about the status of team leader, Tyus Battle, who averages 17.2 points. Battle has been dealing with a hip injury and is probable for this game, but he didn't play in the Orange's loss to Duke in the ACC Tournament. Jim Boeheim's famed zone defense didn't work against the Blue Devils, who shot 53.7 percent and phenom Zion Williamson made all 13 of his shots. Baylor has the clear advantage on the boards in this matchup - especially at the offensive end. The Bears average 35.5 offensive rebounds compared to 29.7 for the Orange. Take Baylor on the moneyline.
