Baylor Bears Betting Preview

The Bears have been successful in all four of their games to start the season. Their most recent win was a 99-61 outing over the Kansas City Roos. The biggest difference in this game was shooting beyond the arc, as the Bear connected on 56.5 percent of their threes versus just 17.4 percent for the Roos.

Ja’Kobe Walter (18.0 PPG, 4.8 REB) leads the team in scoring and is only a freshman. Assuming he continues to find quality buckets each game, he might be one of the better guards in the country.

They are averaging 90.0 points per game and have 13.5 assists each time. This shows they do a solid job at moving the ball, but they primarily grab a lot of offensive rebounds to get more opportunities to score.

The Bears have held teams to 68.8 points a game, while also contributing 5.3 blocks and 9.3 steals. They also grab 41.3 rebounds, which might be key if they cannot land their first attempt at the basket.

Oregon State Beavers Betting Preview

The Beavers just had their three-game win streak snapped when they lost to the Nebraska Cornhuskers 84-63. They were down 44-24 at the half, which they were never able to come back from.

They are off to a good start in the PAC-12 after finishing with a losing record the year prior. However, can they keep up their style of play against a quality team like the Bears.

Their offense is solid at 76.8 points per game and they add 12.0 assists to the mix. They also shoot 41.3 percent from the field, which is a bit less than what the Bears average.

The Beavers allow 70.3 points per game, while also landing 3.8 blocks and 6.5 steals. They also manage to get their hands on 39.5 rebounds, which should be key in this matchup.
