5:00 p.m. ET: Baylor Bears (15-2) at West Virginia Mountaineers (13-3)

Spread: Baylor -6.5
Total: 138

West Virginia plays the #1 Baylor Bears after Malik Curry scored 23 points in West Virginia’s 85-59 loss to the Kansas Jayhawks. The Bears are 3-2 in conference matchups. The Mountaineers are 10-0 in home games. West Virginia is 9th in the Big 12 in scoring with 69 points per game while shooting 42.9% from the field. There are several questionable players in this game and confirmation of their status will be very important. Baylors’ Akinjo and Sochan are questionable as well as WVU’s Taz Sherman. If Taz Sherman doesn’t play then Baylor should dominate however if he does and Baylor is missing Akinjo and Sochan, they will have a shot to cover this spread. Baylor has played terrible offense the last 2 games but you have to think that will get back on track. WVU has a good record but they have had some tough wins against teams that should have been easy blowouts. The bottom line for this game is that Baylor will be more motivated and should be ready to roll. Take Baylor and the Under in this one.
