Baylor -1.5 at Texas Tonight

[Tanko]

I like this matchup. Baylor played exceptionally well Saturday in a big game against Kansas even without Cryer in the lineup. Full disclosure: I posted a thread betting on KU and took the loss.

I've not seen any reports Cryer is back for them but he was questionable on Saturday and some reports thought he might play so I'm thinking he will return tonight. Baylor still has a shot at Big 12 title, albeit a little bit of a long-shot based on Kansas' schedule but, they have something to play for on Tourny seedings so I think they will play very tough.

In Texas' last 4 games, they had to come from behind late in the 2nd half in their last two games vs lesser opponents (TCU & @ W Virg), lost against Texas Tech in Austin, and went to overtime against Oklahoma prior to that. Baylor is obviously a much better team than 3 of those opponents and maybe slightly better than Texas Tech. Typically Texas falls behind in the 2nd half and then stage a late run (its what they often do), I don't see them being able to accomplish this vs talent Baylor can bring.

Baylor pounded Texas in Waco on Feb 12th by 17.

Thanks CK.
I'd like to do better than 1-1 on a given day. Its been a "slog" lately.
Maybe only placing 1 play today will get me there.

 

[carolinakid]

all the best for a great week for you, starting with the bears tonite

CK, where are you getting your injury info? I get it from a couple of sites (DB & Covers) and then check team twitter accounts just before tipoff.

Is Baylor still a play for you?

Is Baylor still a play for you?

The update on Cryer is "game time decision". He's a 47% 3 pt shooter. Would be nice to have him.
The line is down to 1 on a number of books.

I'm still on Baylor and will take the -1.

I'll also be sitting on Baylor's twitter account to try and get the info on Cryer before the line moves. If he plays it'll prob go up a little. I may add to my bet if I can beat the line move with updated info.

Good Luck

[carolinakid]

my guess it will be in the 30 mins before the tip

I saw this earlier in the afternoon during a small coffee break at work and my phone died just before i could get it to the forum! Those pesky kids!

Ohhh snap!! Enikk beats me to the finish line!! I'll delete mine to avoid spam but more worrisome...sign of things to come?

And I just dropped by to say I really like the Under with this game...more so after reading all about Cryer. You guys got a lean?

Also playing SD State ML (-125) for 0.5 u's and got a lean towards the over but I think I should just stick to what I really like...lessons keep coming fast and furious...no pun intended
