Baylor had a 21-day layoff in February and lost its undefeated season with a loss to Kansas. The Bears later lost to Oklahoma State in the Big 12 tournament, but they are back to being as dominant as they were the first two months of the season. The Bears blew out their first two opponents in the NCAA Tournament, including Sunday's 76-63 victory as a 6.5-point favorite over Wisconsin. Davion Mitchell and Jared Butler each scored 16 points, and the Badgers were held to 29 points in the first half. Baylor is 8-3 ATS its past 11 neutral-site games, and this will be a much tougher test for Villanova after beating Winthrop and North Texas. Baylor defends the 3s well allowing 33.7% from beyond the arc, and the Bears make 41.5% of their 3-pointers. Both of those factors spell trouble for the Wildcats. Take Baylor.
