ANDREW’S FREE PICK
I’ll probably stay with Baylor in this one. The Bears are on a nice five-game winning streak right now, scoring 74 or more points in four of those games. Baylor had a three-game losing streak going early this month but they’ve bounced back well since then. As for Arkansas, they’re just 2-4 in their last six games, however they’ve hit 69 or more points in four of the last five outings. I like this one to be close initially, with Baylor pulling away in the second half.
