I need a big win and Im leaning on Baylor. They are bigger and way more athletic than Xavier. Xavier has not looked good since the fight and I watched the game vs St. Bono and they looked horrible. The problem I always have betting Baylor is there stupid zone. Holloway and Lyons scare me if they start lighting it up. Im leaning Baylor -6 but what do you guys think?

Xavier by far the worst team left.
Of the dogs that covered yest.. they were quality. Wisconsin and Louisville and Florida. Quality teams... with Whisky being borderline.
Xavier is worse than Ohio. Baylor or nothing here, boys. End of story.Comment -

Xavier ML? out of your mindComment -
Baylor isnt all that special...xavier is solid at cleaning up defensive glass and defending the 3, things Baylor heavily relies on.. that said i wouldnt touch this gm with your money but acting like xavier has no chance is comical considering Baylor was doing their best to let Colorado garbage asses stay in the gm..Originally posted by basketsComment -
i you are looking for a blowout i would go with any of the the other 3 favorites tonight. unc, kansas, kentucky - i think 2 of those 3 cover the number easy tonight at worst. this game could go either way IMO xavier has looked awful at times but holloway and lyons get hot, perry jones takes another game off, and baylor goes home. you take away heslips career night and a terrible colorado team handles baylor with ease. that is what scares me.Originally posted by redsoxfreak91Comment -
I agree with that. I haven't seen but a handful of people not on Baylor tonight. I see this game going the Syracuse-Wisconsin route as far as being close throughout and coming down to someone making or not making plays late in the 2nd half. Said it all season, Scott Drew is going to coach this team to a loss in a winnable game somewhere. Maybe it's not tonight, but there was a reason Xavier was ranked highly in the preseason. They're not all that different from Baylor mentally. Both have the ability to play with anyone in the country, but from a consistency standpoint - they aren't always there every night. Baylor to me still has some of the worst offensive sets in the country. Living in the DFW area, saw this team plenty. They are a little better than they were a few weeks ago, but still tend to do too much one on one basketball.Originally posted by 2daBankComment -
xavier can play from behind. I love um and the points.Comment -
1h under is the way to go.Comment -
when you see EP chime in w/ his expertise, you know you can go the other way and bank it quite oftenComment -
Love Baylor...GO BEARS!!Comment -
This is Baylors game to win....IMO they will play the best basketball of their tourney so far and they will blow xavier off the court. This is by far the best game for a blowout, it may stay under the total, but that will only be because of Xaviers inability to score. I use Ohio st/Cinnci game as an example of how this one plays out, baylor just pulls away in the end if its close at the halfComment -
Baylor MLComment -
Baylor isnt a good jump shooting team xavier should try playing a little defense and make them shoot some jumpers... nba all star game defense by xavier baylor shouldnt avg 83% from the field vs my local high school varsity team.Comment -

Amazing that xavier coach just thought about going zone with 7 min left in the half after watching baylor run a lay up drill on his team for most of the half. I guess better late than never. Not like it matters baylor will just miss jumpers beat up xavier on the offensive boards and still get easy put backsComment -
Xavier is going to mess up my 1h over 66 for huge.Comment -
p jax is so filthy....xaver tryna sneak back in it....bang pjax drops a three on em
