Baylor has rebounded from the brink of a disastrous season to win five straight and enter the bubble conversation for an NCAA Tournament berth. But the Bears are coming off a pair of taxing games, an overtime win at Texas and a two-point win Saturday against Big 12 leader Texas Tech. But a West Virginia team that has dominated recent meetings will come in angry following its frustrating finish in a loss to Kansas. West Virginia forced 21 turnovers in teh first meeting, but its 31 percent shooting kept Baylor in the game. The Mountaineers complete the season sweep Tuesday.
Momentum has been carrying Baylor during a five-game win streak -- underdog in the last four, while covering the spread in their last six. They just beat the two best Big 12 teams in Waco the past 10 days (Texas Tech, Kansas) and they get West Virginia tonight, losers of two of the past three. I'm on the hot team, Baylor.
Two teams going in opposite directions. The Bears have covered six straight and 10 of 14 in conference play, and boast a five-game win streak that includes victories over the Big 12's best, Kansas and Texas Tech. West Virginia lost on Saturday at Kansas after leading by 12 with 10 minutes left. The loss was the Mountaineers' seventh in their last 11 games, and they're just 5-7 ATS in their last 12. West Virginia beat Baylor 57-54 on Jan. 8 in a game that was close throughout. The top six teams in the Big 12 get a bye in the conference tournament; Baylor currently sits fifth with three teams one game behind. Play on the Bears.
