Joe D'Amico's NCAAB 66% ESPN Baylor/Texas Winner

Baylor vs. Texas, 03/04/2013 21:00 EDT, Score: 70 - 79

Point Spread: -1½/-110 Baylor

Sportsbook: BETONLINE

Result: Loss

Today's winner is Baylor over Texas. This is my ESPN Winner.

Baylor has taken three straight over Texas, including an 86-79 OT victory back in January. The Bears just suffered a tough loss to the Wildcats on Saturday and face a "must-win" here. Pierre Jackson leads the Big 12 in scoring (19.0 PPG) and assists (6.4 APG). Big Men, Austin, Jefferson, and Gathers (23 RPG combined) will own the boards and dominate the paint over the inconsistent Texas front court. The Longhorns will finish in the bottom four of the Conference no matter what. UT has nothing to play for and nothing to prove. The Road Team is 5-0 ATS their L5 meetings in this series. The Bears are 4-0 ATS their L4 games played at the Longhorns and 17-5 ATS their L22 games vs. teams with a losing record. Take Baylor. Thank you.
