West Virginia at Baylor tonight - Thoughts?

[thadchr]

Seems like this should be a good game...

Baylor very hot right now coming off a close win against TTech and supposedly a bubble team, WV always up for these tough games and hanging onto a top 25 ranking. Not to mention that the spread has basically been a back and forth pick'em.

Just curious what everyone's thoughts are on this one. Any particular insight worth noting? Trends? Matchups?

My initial views show a slight public lean toward Baylor (though it's awful early to say), yet a 1 point line move toward WV. I have a strange vibe that the books are anticipating Baylor money and don't mind being on the other side, but that's just my early feel. Would love to get some deeper insight from the board members here.

Can WVU defense cause enough turnovers to offset Baylor rebounding advantage?
Can WVU center stay out of foul trouble?
Right now I would say I like the under better than either side.
Will wait to see what others say.

These 2 have had some lower scoring games in the past. Can Baylor beat the pressure? Baylor's zone will need to stop the outside shooting. I like Baylor but just barely. gl

• Big wins for Baylor. It has five-straight wins against Kansas and Texas Tech. The Bears have won their past two games by a combined three points, after going 0-4 last month in similar situations.
• A third top 25 RPI win tonight would significantly improve BU?s at-large chances, especially since the committee likes teams that are trending up.

Carter should have a big game tonight. I am going w Mountaineers in the first half. Huggins will have his team ready to play after Kansas got 33 more FT attempts and he got ejected last weekend.
