There is no recent history between these two opponents.
Baylor might have been a little tight in winning their opening round game against Sam Houston State. They were down one at the half but didn’t panic and outscored the Bearkats by ten for a nine point win – sorry to those who had the Bears at -9.5.
The Bears survived a miserable game form PG Tweety Carter but this team is not very deep.
If he puts up another meagre line (2 points/2 assists) then the Bears will be going home sooner than expected. Everyone has Baylor as a trendy pick and perhaps they got too caught up in reading about themselves this week.
Old Dominion is a no nonsense team but if the Bears get production from their top three – Carter, LaceDarius Dunn and Epke Udoh, the Monarchs do not have the talent to match.
Udoh dominated against Sam Houston State and has shown he can do so against all levels of competition.
Old Dominion was patient in their victory against the streaking Fighting Irish of Notre Dame.
They used their trademark tough defense (5th in the nation in points allowed per game) to keep themselves in it and did an amazing job on Luke Harangody who scored his four points in the last minutes. It will be much tougher to keep the Bears down.
They are more athletic and talented than Notre Dame although they sometimes play out of control. Maintaining control is Old Dominion’s specialty.
If they can keep the game in the 60’s they have a chance but if they have to play catchup they are in trouble as they are not a good 3pt shooting team (only 31%). This could be the end of the road for ODU.
Betting Trends:
Bears are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 games as a favorite of 0.5-6.5
Bears are 6-1 ATS in their last 7 non-conference games
Bears are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games as a favorite
Monarchs are 3-7 ATS in their last 10 non-conference games
Monarchs are 6-14 ATS in their last 20 games vs. a team with a winning SU record
Free Bears vs. Monarchs CBB Pick
I believe that Baylor used Sam Houston State to get the jitters out and will be focused and ready to roll against Old Dominion. This is a bad matchup for the Monarchs who will have trouble dictating tempo (too bad they couldn’t grab a team like Wisconsin to play). Look for LaceDarius Dunn to get off and lead to a fairly easy victory.
Score prediction: Baylor 71 – Old Dominion 59
