Arizona visits Baylor on Monday night in a Big 12 showdown in Waco. The Wildcats are still ranked despite two straight losses, while the Bears are coming off a 74-71 win over West Virginia. On DraftKings Sportsbook, Baylor is a 1.5-point favorite with the total set at 151.5.
I’m going with the Wildcats to win this one. After two straight losses, they will want to get things right on Monday. After the close 62-58 loss to #5 Houston, Arizona should have all the confidence that they can go toe to toe with anyone in the country. At plus money, I think they are great value on DraftKings Sportsbook.
Arizona is 11-3 in the Big 12 this season, compared to Baylor’s record of 8-6. The Wildcats have shown that they are better than most of this conference, and I think the Baylor Bears will be no exception. Arizona has won three of their last four on the road and beat the Bears 81-70 earlier this season in Tucson.
Baylor has suffered some key injuries in the frontcourt recently, which could end up being the difference.
