Baylor takes on Syracuse at approximately 8:50 on Thursday in the opening round of the NCAA Tournament. The game airs on truTV.
The Bears are two point underdogs in Vegas. KenPom and FiveThirtyEight give Baylor a 48% chance to win.
While the Bears have battled injuries recently, Scott Drew told the media on Tuesday that “Health wise, knock on wood...we’re in better shape than we’ve been, physically.”
Syracuse should have Tyus Battle back for this one as well.
As always, we’ll preview playing offense against the opponent, then turn to defense. Finally, we’ll close with a prediction.
