I agree with Baylor and might add Wisconsin Green Bay, but don't see Louisville winning tonight.
Louisville knocked off Pitt, but that was because Blair got in foul trouble. UConn has more depth than Pitt with guys like Edwards and Robinson. Price has looked like his old self likely and Williams will have trouble getting layups vs. Thabett. You know Sosa will find a way to screw up too.

Wisconsin Green Bay +1.5
This has game of the year potential. this is a very good spot for the Fighting Phoenix. Since their 9 point loss at Butler, Green Bay has rattled off 3 consecutive convincing wins. This is a well rounded team that plays the game the right way. This is the best offensive team in the Horizon. They lead the league in multiple categories such as; scoring, fg %, 3 point %, and ft %. Their whole roster is a threat to shoot the 3 ball. They have 6 players that shoot the 3 over 40%, and another 2 who are over 35% on the season. Those numbers are absolutely ridiculous. Their ability to make free throws is what has made their nearly unbeatable in close games. They don't give you the game from the foul line, they end games from the there. They have also stepped it up on defense this season, which is the difference from last season to this one. They are in the upper quarter of fg % def, and 3 point % def. This is a game that the Phoeniz want badly. Many players are calling this the biggest game of their careers. There is no doubt they will be ready for the Bulldogs tonight, and fully expect them to win.

Baylor
The Bears have been slumping losing 3 straight. However if you look at who those losses were against and where you can understand why they have dropped 3 consecutive games. The only loss that they were never in the game was at Oklahoma where they didn't have an answer inside for Blake Griffin. In their other 2 losses, at Missouri, and at home against Texas they led both games late only to later to fall. In those games Curtis Jerrels played 2 of the worst games of his career. Jerrels is a good player, and I don't expect him to be held down for long. Playing at home, on the big stage, against a big time team Kansas, I expect him to get back on track at the same time getting the Bears back on track. Baylor is much better at home. They rely a lot on the 3 ball, so playing at home is important to a shooting team. Kansas meanwhile has struggled in their last 2 games against 2 of the bottom feeders of the league. In close wins at Nebraska, and home against Colorado, Sherron Collins has been less than good. KU relies a lot on their junior point guard to get the offense going, and when he is struggling so do the Jayhawks. Again tonight Collins is going up against one of the best back courts not only in the Big 12, but in the nation. The Bears are not a team a guard wants to try to get healthy on. I think Kansas is ripe for the pickin. Baylor is going to be playing with a sense of urgency and should get a win against a Kansas team that hasn't been playing their best ball. Home court should win out

Brown plays. Road woes continue for WKU. Ark St has come a long way under Brady. They have done a total 360 on the defensive end. Their front court with a healthy Chi-Kur should be the difference.
