Baylor Bears vs. Memphis Tigers Prediction
I’m on Memphis here. I think the Tigers are just a better team to bet as an underdog as that’s where Penny Hardaway has thrived in his tenure as Memphis’ head coach. The Bears are a solid team but they run a short rotation and I think this could be a spot where that comes back to bite Baylor. Give me Memphis and the points.
