Premium Pick
1 unit on Baylor -175 (moneyline) (risk 1 to return 1.57)
Result:
WIN

Baylor has been streaky, but they are hot now (10-2 run) and very talented. Baylor has plenty of offensive firepower and is 24th in the nation in rebounds with a powerful frontcourt in 6-9 senior Cory Jefferson (12 points per game, 7.8 rebounds per game), 6-8 270-lb soph Rico Gathers (8 points per game, 7.6 rebounds per game), and 7-foot-1 soph Isaiah Austin (11 points per game, 5.5 rebounds per game). The Bears are also back to covering games, on a 9-3 ATS run. They came close to winning the Big 12 tourney, running out of gas late against Iowa State in the title game, their fourth game in four nights while Iowa State was playing just its third game in three nights. The Bears are 9-4 ATS in their last 13 non-conference games. They can play any style and face a Nebraska team that is all about slowing things down, 272nd in the nation in scoring, 342nd in assists, and 251st in rebounds. This team had a five-game skid when conference play began, struggling badly away from home. This is a terrible matchup under the glass for the Huskers, whose top two rebounders are 6-7 Shavon Shields and 6-6 Terran Petteway. The Cornhuskers are 1-4 ATS against the Big 12, so grab the BIG Baylor Bears frontcourt to win the game. Play Baylor on the moneyline.
