The current betting odds have BYU listed as a 2.5 point favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. BYU has looked good in their games this season with their 17-6 record overall, but their 5-5 conference record has them right in the middle of the Big 12. They haven't been a great road team either with their 2-3 road record this season. Meanwhile, Baylor hasn't looked great in their games this season with their 13-10 record overall and their 3-8 conference record which has them in the bottom half of the Big 12. They have looked good on their home court though with their 9-4 home record this season. Baylor hasn't looked that great lately though as they are 2-3 in their last 5 games and coming off another loss in their last one. They are off a loss to Iowa State and did put up a really good fight, only losing by 3 in the end, but they have struggled all season against stronger opponents in their own conference and that has been a common theme for them. BYU hasn't looked any better lately as they are 1-4 in their last 5 games and coming off a home loss to Houston in their last one. They have lost 4 games in a row now too and have been in a huge slump, but they have also had a really tough schedule lately with their losses coming against some of the best in the conference. They still have one of the best players in the nation on their team and they are supposed to be one of the best teams in the nation too. They haven't looked like it lately, but they still have a lot more talent than Baylor does and BYU will be looking to bounce back in a big way here. The best way to place a bet here is on BYU to cover the spread in this game.

“Go make a shot. I don’t know what else to say. The two of them were 3 of 10 combined, and then 3 of 8 from the free-throw line, so those are basically seven missed layups and five missed free throws between your two centers.” - Kevin Young after his team’s loss against Houston in their last game. 

“I’ve said it’s the most (teams) we’ve ever had in the Big 12 that can be in the Final Four, and they’re definitely one of them.” - Scott Drew after his team’s loss against ISU in their last game.
