There is one word that is going to be the key to NCAA Basketball Bettingin this one on Saturday night: Motivation.
Simply put, Baylor has it, and Texas doesn't look like it really cares all that much about it. After all, the Longhorns have dropped two in a row and are clearly off of the No. 1 line right now in the NCAA Tournament even though it seemed like a foregone conclusion that's that what they would be just a few weeks ago. Baylor, on the other hand, probably either needs this game or at least two wins in the Big XII Tournament to get on the right side of the bubble and into the NCAA Betting Tournament.
This could be an interesting game for LaceDarius Dunn, who was just cleared of off the court charges on Thursday. If he doesn't play well, there is no way that you can NCAA Basketball Betting successfully on this Baylor team. Dunn is averaging a team high 19.7 points per game this season, and he is frequently a man that takes 20 shots in a game and puts up 25-30 against the opposition.
Both Perry Jones III and Quincy Acy are going to be critical in the paint, as they are combining to average 26.4 points and 14.7 rebounds per game. These two are Nos. 1 and 2 in rebounding and Nos. 2 and 3 in scoring on the team this year.
There are five players that you really have to look out for if you want to NCAA Basketball Betting with the Longhorns. Jordan Hamilton is obvious the heart and soul of the team at 18.7 points per game, but both Tristan Thompson and Gary Johnson are just as athletic and have very similar numbers. Keep a close eye on the big guards on this team as well. UT has gotten great production out of Cory Joseph and J'Covan Brown, the latter of which has been a tremendous spark off of the bench for the entire season.
Still, Baylor has to be the team to back on Saturday. There's just too much at stake for the Bears to be embarrassed on their home court, especially on national television with the eyes of the Selection Committee watching. NCAA Basketball Betting with the Bears this weekend to become big time winners.
