Texas vs Baylor Betting Analysis
Baylor brings a six-game win streak to Austin on Monday night, but the most impressive thing about this run is that it has contained three of the Bears’ worst shooting performances of the season.
Against Oklahoma, Baylor shot 36.2-percent from the floor, including a dreadful 14-of-38 from two-point range.
On Saturday against Arkansas, the Bears were even worse at 33.9-percent from the floor, including 34.1-percent from two-point range. Baylor won both of those games.
Baylor Takes Advantage of Minimal Travel
Scott Drew’s team has figured out ways to win on nights when they don’t have their shooting touch, and they might be catching the Longhorns at an opportune time.
While Baylor has only left the state of Texas once in recent weeks, the Longhorns have been racking up the miles with trips to Tennessee, Iowa and West Virginia.
Texas dropped the Rick Barnes Bowl on Saturday 82-71 in Knoxville. The Volunteers grabbed a double-digit lead before halftime and had things on cruise control for most of that contest.
Since the start of the new year, here is the margin of victory/defeat in Baylor’s games: 1, 2 (in OT), 5, 16, 7, 2, 6 and 3. On a nightly basis, you generally know what you’re going to get out of the Bears – A relatively slow pace with an efficient offense that emphasizes rebounding.
Longhorns Looking For Consistency
If you do that same exercise on the Texas side, you’ll find scores that range from 116-103 (in regulation) to 56-46 and everything in between.
We would prefer to side with a Baylor squad that looks much more stable and not the roller coaster from Texas, who’s still trying to figure everything out after Chris Beard’s departure.
Texas vs Baylor Expert Prediction
Freshman guard Keyonte George (17.2 points per game) continues to gain valuable experience, as evident by his 24-point performance over the Razorbacks on Saturday.
Baylor has won its last three road games, so a trip to the Moody Center is unlikely to phase the Bears. Grab the points with Baylor, in what should be a close Big XII affair.
Prediction: Baylor Bears +3.5
