Baylor an Overwhelming Favorite

On paper, what’s not to like about Baylor? The Bears exclusively lost one regular-season game. Baylor is shooting 41.82% from three-point range, which contributes the nation. On defense, the Bears force a turnover on practically 20% of their opponent’s possessions.

Both Jared Butler( 17.1 times per activity, 5.0 abets per competition) and Davion Mitchell( 13.8 ppg) are viewed as 2021 first-round NBA draft picks. Butler drains three-pointers at a 44% clip.

Beyond them, MaCio Teague is also good on roughly 40% of his shots from beyond the arc and is averaging 15.8 PPG.

The Bears were unbeaten when they stayed a three-week COVID-1 9 interrupt. Since coming back, they lost to Kansas and were fallen 83 -7 4 by Oklahoma State in the Big 12 Tournament semi-finals.

Buckeyes Won’t Stop Here

Ohio State reached the Big Ten Tournament title game before precipitating to Illinois in overtime. Like Baylor, Ohio State can accomplish enormous stunts and also stub their toes on the big-hearted stage.

In early February, they operated a 5-0 road gauntlet of Rutgers, Illinois, Wisconsin, Iowa, and Maryland. Then the Buckeyes lost four in a row. That may say more about how penetrating the endowment kitty is in the Big Ten this season.

Offensive depth beyond Duane Washington( 15.3 ppg) and E.J. Liddell( 16.0 ppg) and interior protection against large-hearteds are concerns that may stop an Ohio State tournament run.
