Baylor vs Saint John’s Prediction

I’ll lean toward Baylor here. The Bears handled a decent Creighton team pretty well on Monday, thanks to a nice effort up front. Baylor had an advantage on the boards 39-24 and in the paint 38-28 while shooting a reasonable 43.1 percent from the field and 12-of-16 (75 percent) from the line. The Bears also had 15 team assists and just nine turnovers in the victory. That gives Baylor 78 or more points in all four games this year, with 94 or more points in two of those outings. I could see another big total coming on Tuesday if the Bears can keep it going.

As for Saint John’s, they put up a valiant effort against a great Iowa State team on Monday but fell just short. The Storm shot 43.3 percent from the field with a 31-28 rebounding advantage, 76.7 percent (23-of-30) from the line and just nine turnovers but couldn’t get it done. This one should be another pretty good game if the Bears can get it going.
