Betting on the Baylor Bears
- Regular Season Record: 16-5
Baylor remains hot. The Bears collected yet another win on Saturday by beating the Arkansas Razorbacks at home in Waco, 67-64. That’s another notable victory for Baylor, which, a game prior, defeated the reigning national champions Kansas Jayhawks, also at home, on Jan. 23.
Although they will be hitting the road this time around, Baylor has won all its last three games away from Waco, including a 62-60 victory in Norman last week. While the Bears haven’t been shooting the ball well lately, their offense remains lethal. It entered Saturday’s game against Arkansas ranked 21st in Division I basketball with nearly 80 points per game average.
Baylor is 5-4-1 ATS in its last 10 games.
Betting on the Texas Longhorns
- Regular Season Record: 17-4
Arkansas is coming off an 82-71 road loss to the Tennessee Volunteers, but that was really a tough game to win for the Razorbacks. Texas is arguably the best team in the nation, with KenPom now ranking it No. 1 overall. Nevertheless, facing a very good Tennessee team should help the confidence in some ways of Texas, which will look to get its offense going again.
Texas is 10th in the nation with 117.5 points per 100 possessions adjusted. The Longhorns’ defense can’t also be ignored despite the loss to Tennessee. Texas opponents have shot worse than 50 eFG% in three of the Longhorns’ last five outings. The Over is 6-3-1 in the Longhorns’ last 10 games.
JefeBet Prediction
Baylor has the momentum, but it feels as though it is due for a loss after surviving games despite its bad shooting. Taking the Longhorns to win.
Prediction: Texas wins by at least 3 points.
