T.M. Selection: Kansas/Baylor UNDER.

I am on the under in the Kansas vs Baylor game on Saturday. Kansas has looked really good lately with 4 wins in a row now but they have been giving a really good effort on defense in a lot of their games. I think Kansas will give a good defensive effort in this game too since the team they are playing is right on their tail for 1st place in their conference. Kansas just won their most recent game 102-83 but the games they played before that win were much lower in score. They didn't give up 70+ points to any opposing teams for 3 games in a row before their most recent win, and they haven't given up 70+ points in 5/7 of their previous 7 games. In their previous meeting this year, Kansas only gave up 59 points to Baylor and I think they can play with that kind of defensive intensity again in this game. I expect Baylor to also play a lot better on defense in this game too. They gave up 83 points in that 1st meeting against Kansas and I think they will play harder on defense and give a better effort so that doesn't happen again. They are also on their home court here, they have been a lot better on their home court this year and I think they will have an easier time getting the stops in this game. This is also an important game for both teams, Baylor is behind Kansas in conference play this year and Baylor would need Kansas to lose at least 2 games or they can't catch up. Baylor has a chance to deliver 1 of those losses here and I think they will play more cautious and give that extra effort on defense to get stops considering they were embarrassed by Kansas last time. I think both teams will have a good defensive effort in this game and I expect it to be a lower scoring game. I like the under in this game.

T.M. Prediction: 69-66 Baylor.
