This is an 8* on BAYLOR

For the first time all year, we’ve got Baylor coming off a loss. The Bears went down at Kansas on Saturday, losing 71-58 as a 4.5 point favorite. It was only their second game since a 21-day absence due to COVID. Quite frankly, the #3 ranked team in the country has not looked good in either game. They could barely beat the last place team in the Big 12, Iowa State, in the first game back. Tonight they have to head to Morgantown to face West Virginia, who is ranked #6 in the latest AP Poll. We think it was probably unfair to drop Baylor a spot based on one loss, though that move was pretty predictable. West Virginia is good, but we just don’t think they are the sixth best team in the country. They are 0-3 vs. top five opponents this season. They did win by 22 on Saturday, but that was vs. Kansas State. Baylor had its worst offensive game of the season against Kansas and was outrebounded pretty badly as well. But we expect the shots to start falling again and them to resemble the team that looked so dominant pre-layoff. Play on BAYLOR
