My Thoughts
The last time these two teams pretty much nothing went right for the cats besides winning the turnover battle. No one for the cats really shot it well besides maybe Nowell who was 5-11 and defensively the lone bright spot was Mike McGuirl having 3 steals. Baylor shot over 50% in both halves, while the cats failed to shoot 32% from the field and only shot 21.7% from 3. The cats are just overmatched everywhere the only chance is hoping Pack and Nowell have games again like they did vs KU but Mark Smith and Mike McGuirl can't disappear this time. The cats got overmatched everywhere, the battle in the paint, the rebound battle, they simply don't have the length or athleticism to compete they might if Bradford or EZ becomes playable, Linguard has to get bigger, so he doesn't get pushed around. Overall, it's just hard to not see Baylor losing this unless the cats execute on offense and keep the rebound battle close. Baylor hasn’t been playing well lately for their standards and most of that is due to the injury bug currently. It’s just so hard to see a cats win because Baylor is so good on both ends of the floor and good teams always bounce back strong. If the cats get up early something could brew or at least be more competitive but give me BAYLOR 77 CATS 63
