Norfolk State is one of those experienced and balanced small conference teams you see each year in the Big Dance. They're 15-6 ATS against winning teams and 8-3 ATS as an underdog. Of their six leading scorers, three are seniors (and three juniors), and they are led by the senior backcourt of Joe Bryant, Jr. (16.8 points per game) and Jalen Hawkins. Upfront, they have 6-8 senior Kris Bankston (11.3 points per game, 6.9 rebounds per game) and 6-7 junior Dana Tate. Norfolk State was third in the MEAC in scoring, tops in shooting, No. 1 defensively in points surrendered (63.7 per game), and first in field goal defense (.374). Norfolk State is 10-2-1 ATS at neutral sites and 20-7-1 ATS after a victory. Baylor is on an 8-13 spread run, tailing off after that 15-0 start. Over their last seven contests, Baylor lost to Texas Tech (83-73), nipped Oklahoma State in OT, failed to cover as double-digit favorites against Iowa State and TCU, then went quietly in the Big 12 tournament in losing the opener to Oklahoma, 72-67, as 7.5-point chalk. Also, college basketball double-digit favorites playing with five or six days of rest are 11-37 ATS when facing teams with a winning percentage of 80% or higher. Play Norfolk State.
