ANDREW’S FREE PICK
I’m going to take Baylor in this one. With TCU losing three of their last four, some of the luster has worn off this game. That said, it should still be a good matchup. Baylor is a nice 8-1 over their last nine outings with a lone loss to Texas 76-71 mixed in there. The Bears are scoring well lately with 67 or more points in five straight games. As for TCU, they were able to power out an 88-87 road win the last time these teams met up at Ferrell Center back on January 4. The Frogs’ victory came courtesy of a 49-38 second half. Baylor has plenty of motivation to get some revenge here, and I think they’ll pull off the cover/win.
