Hi, It's VR again ! What a great MLK Jr. day, hoops all night. Nice lucky cover last night with Missouri State Bears, sometimes in this business as you know it's better to be lucky than good !
Tonight were going "Primetime", with "TWO Teams" that I know real, real well. I've seen both teams practice and I've seen both teams live, in non-conference games. So I'm I feel real good about both teams.
Kansas @ Baylor, the line is backing the Jayhawks -4.
I'll start with Baylor, this game tonight has the feel of a Regional Semi-final ! Can Baylor play basketball with Kansas shooters, skill and talent. Baylors front line is pretty good. #4 Q Acy it feels like he's been there forever. ACY is tuff on the wing, he has springs and can jump out of the gym, average's 13 ppg. He's shooting 51% from the field, the reason it looks high is because he's always down on the low-block gettin ready to pull the rim down. Don't get me wrong I like Acy, been watching him for years. But can he step tonight and hit the 10-15 footer to keep Baylor in the game. My answer-NO ! On the other wing is #41 A Jones, very quietly he scores 8 agame. Pulls down 5 boards agame, in my opinion he'll do zero tonight in affect of this game going either way. Then there's Perry Jones III, Baylors one and only Mcdonalds All-American in there history. If he comes out at the end of the season he's a top 5 draft pick ! But at this point in his career he's raw and can not hit the 15 footer to put Baylor ahead. Baylors back court I really like, #24 L Dunn, he's very good. His average is over 20 agame and can single handly keep Baylor in the game tonight, #22 A Walton in my opinion would not start if he played for Kansas, needs to cut down on turnovers.
As for Kansas, as you heard on TV there loaded ! They have a very nice squad, in my opinion there the best team in the country. The Jayhawks are a very good shooting basketball team, from the low block, 12-15 ft. they can hit there shoots and from 3 there shooting over 38%. Kansas also does not turn the ball over !
Baylor 202 assists 247 turnovers
Kansas 315 assists 242 turnovers
Huge stat right there, Baylor blows many of the possesion while Kansas does not ! With the eye test which is real big for me, Kansas is alot better basketball team. Baylor RPI ranking is 99, KU I believe it's 3.
Baylor is 0-4 against RPI top 100 this year.
Here's a stat that some of you will like "The road team in this series is 10-0 ATS"
Kansas -3.5
Good luck guy's, hope the best to all !
Thanks for the updates VR enjoying keeping up with you this season!
