The TCU Horned Frogs (12-1, 1-0 Big 12) visit Waco to take on the 16th-ranked and perennial national title contender Baylor Bears (10-3, 0-1) Wednesday at 9 p.m. ET (ESPN2). Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the TCU vs. Baylor odds, and make our expert college basketball picks, predictions and bets.
Despite the Bears being ranked No. 16, coach Jamie Dixon’s Horned Frogs are the better team.
While Baylor had an early December victory over current No. 12 Gonzaga (64-63), recent games have been more of a struggle. The Bears lost their Big 12 opener as 1.5-point road favorites 77-62 at Iowa State Saturday. Coach Scott Drew’s Bears need to get things figured out quickly if they hope to threaten Kansas for the Big 12 title or if they hope to make another tournament run.
