An exciting matchup lies ahead as the 15th ranked Baylor Bears face the 25th ranked UConn Huskies on Wednesday night. UConn struggled at the Maui Invitational, finishing in last place (8th) after failing to score a single to achieve victory. In their next game, UConn put on a dominating performance against Maryland Eastern Shore, beating them by a final score of 99-45. Baylor has suffered two losses this season, both against ranked opponents. Despite these two losses, the Bears are looking to put that behind them and secure another win against a ranked opponent in today’s match.

Baylor has five scorers averaging double figures and one player to watch in this game is Norchard Omier, who is averaging 15.9 points and 10.4 rebounds per game. UConn has four players averaging double figures this season, and one of those players is Alex Karaban, who is averaging 15.9 points per game and will sit out tonight against Baylor. Baylor has struggled against ranked opponents this year, going 2-2, and with UConn not having Karaban in the lineup, that could open the door for Baylor to keep the game close. Baylor is averaging 85 points per game and giving up 73, while the Huskies are averaging 86.3 points per game and giving up 63.3. The Huskies may be without Karaban, but they have a solid defense and I think their defense will step up a lot here to help them come away in today’s match. Look for the Huskies to overwhelm the Baylor Bears with their defensive pressure, making UConn my best bet of the day.
