Santa Barbara vs. Baylor

Santa Barbara is 27-7, but it has played a woefully easy schedule and the Gauchos have losses against schools such as Northern Arizona, UC Riverside and Cal State Northridge. The Gauchos do have some talented players, including Ajay Mitchell, who averaged 15.7 points in the regular season and Miles Norris (14.2 ppg). However, as with most cases when it comes to playing a Power 5 team, Baylor has more depth and obviously has played a much tougher schedule while being a Big 12 member. The Bears still finished 22-10 on the season even while losing their last two games both to Iowa State. Keyonte George leads three double-figure scorers with 16.0 points per game and Jalen Bridges scored 28 against the Cyclones in the Big 12 Tournament. Santa Barbara holds opponents to 30.9 points in the first half compared to 32.4 for Baylor. The Bears allow only a .322 shooting percentage on 3-pointers and the Gauchos shoot 35.2 percent from beyond the arc. Santa Barbara is 40-17 UNDER its past 57 neutral-court games and Baylor has stayed UNDER six of eight following an ATS loss when it decides to clamp down defensively. Take Baylor to cover, and play the first half and full game to go UNDER.
