Take the over. Baylor offensively is excellent offensively, scoring over 81 points per game. They shoot the long ball very well, ranking 5th as a team at 39.9% from deep. On the other side, Cincinnati has a groove offensively scoring 90 and 72 points in the first two rounds. The Bearcats defense is tough, however they have struggled at times defending the 3-ball which Baylor will look to exploit. This total feels a little short, over is the play.
