The Baylor Bears have been under the radar all season. Compared to Kansas, Kansas State, and Texas as the No.1 team in the country through the first half of the season, the Bears have quietly gone 27-7. To appreciate what this team has done vs. the tough Big-12, a non-conference schedule that shows a win vs. Xavier and three other major conference teams, all seven losses were by seven points or less. The Gaels used their size vs. Villanova who simply had no one to contain Omar Sanhan. Sanhan went on to score 32, while Scottie Reynolds had his worst game of the year at 2-11 and Corey Fisher was just 3-13. The Bears are 5-0 ATS in their last five as a favorite of 6.5 or less while the Gaels just 3-8 ATS in their last 11 at a neutral site. I like Baylor in this one.
