Baylor vs Texas Game Preview

Why Baylor Will Win

How did Baylor pull up out of its nosedive to win six straight? It stopped with all of the turnovers.

The offense got way too slippy in the three game losing streak of a month ago against three good Big 12 teams. The O has been far more careful with the ball, the sooting from the outside has been there, and it’s working to win games played in the 60s and low 70s.

Texas is awful at guarding threes and needs to force takeaways by the bunches, but …

Why Texas Will Win

The Longhorns are going to open it up a bit at home.

It couldn’t keep up with a red hot Tennessee offense that hit everything from the field on Saturday in a 82-71 Vol win, but it’s going to try to crank up the O, get moving, and get this game on the inside.

Baylor can rebound, but it’s better on the offensive glass than the defensive side. Keep taking it to the rim, get on the line, and come up with enough second chance points to matter. Get this game moving a bit, but …

What’s Going To Happen

The only time the Longhorns lost at home this year was the wild 116-103 firefight with Kansas State. This won’t be that.

Baylor will stay in this on defense. Texas makes way too many mistakes on offense and it’s way too inconsistent from the outside. However, it’s going to score.

Baylor is 15-0 when allowing fewer than 76 points and 1-5 when giving up more. Texas has been held to under 79 just three times in Moody.

Why Baylor Will Win

It was just over a month ago, but Texas was whacked in Waco 59-44 as a part of a rough run going 4-7 since the new year started.

The Bear D didn’t let Texas do anything from three, there weren’t a whole slew of mistakes and turnovers, and there wasn’t any drama for a team now on a 20-game winning streak.

The No. 1 team in the nation continues to dominate with a suffocating defense that Texas shouldn’t be able to handle.

This isn’t hard – the Longhorns just don’t score. They’ve only hit the 70 point mark twice in 2020. Baylor will come up with the turnovers needed to make the UT O struggle that much more.

Why Texas Will Win

How do you beat Baylor? Texas has to get hot from three at home early on and get the Bears out of their comfort zone.

This isn’t a hard formula. When the Longhorns hit the three, they win. They’re 8-0 this season when they connect on 40% or more of their threes, and they’re 0 for they’re last 8 when they’re under the 40% mark.

It’s not totally impossible to hit 40% on the Baylor defense, but it’s certainly not easy this year.

In the Big 12, Texas is only behind TCU in the the number of threes jacked up per game – and it’s going to keep on pumping them up.

What’s Going To Happen

Texas isn’t going to hit 40% from three.

The Baylor defense is too active, forces too many mistakes, and it’s not going to let Texas get that extra pass it needs. Just as big a problem is the inability of the Longhorns to get to the line and hit their free throws – they’re not going to get the easy points needed to pull this off.
