As I have mentioned a few times already, I’m under the impression that this game will be a very close one. However, Baylor should be more than a five-point favorite if both teams are in their groove on both ends of the floor. Back the Bears.
The total on this game has already moved up 2.5 points from its starting point, making me lean towards the over in this one. This total is a bit chalky, though, and will likely wind up being close to the actual game total. The over is not really a strong lean, but it’s a lean nonetheless. If you’re going to take any side, take the over here.
