McNeese State vs Baylor Key Stats
After defeating longtime rival Lamar, the Cowboys moved to 3-2. In the second half, the Cowboys pulled away from their erstwhile conference rivals to end a three-game losing streak and cover the eight-point spread. Despite shooting only 32.8% from three-point range and 43.8% from the field, the Cowboys average 72.5 points per game.
For the Cowboys, Christian Shumate has the largest influence. The 6'7 forward leads the Cowboys in scoring (12.8) and rebounding with a double-double average (10.6). In the victory over Lamar, Trae English made five three-pointers, moving him up to second on the team with 10.6 ppg.
After defeating UCLA last Sunday in Vegas, the Bears' record rose to 4-1. The Bears lost to an emotional UVA squad on Friday night but managed to win again in a tight matchup between the Top-10 teams. The Bears average 91.6 points per game while converting 49.5% of their field goals and 32.8% of their long-range attempts.
LJ Cryer and Adam Flagler are the Bears' leaders once again this season. In the victory versus UCLA, Cryer went off for a game-high 28 points, and through the first five games, he averaged 18 points per game. Flagler put up a strong line of 17.8 ppg, 6.8 apg, and 2.6 rpg while playing the lead guard position against the Bruins, scoring 22 points.
McNeese State vs Baylor Betting Prediction
The Cowboys are 1-2 against the spread and 1-2 over/under this season. The Bears are 5-0 overall this season and 3-2 against the spread. With a strong comeback against UCLA, the Bears earned a Top-10 victory, which served as a great consolation gift. With a trip to the Midwest to face Gonzaga and Marquette, the Bears will try to stay on top of things here, and they probably will.
I believe the Bears will take advantage of the opportunity to dominate the Cowboys at home because it will be a great step down from what they had to face in Vegas. Consider the Bears' impressive lineup for what could be a one-sided game on Wednesday afternoon.
Pick: Bears -33.5 (-110)
