Baylor vs. Arizona State Key Players to Watch

Cameron Carr, Guard, Baylor Bears

Cameron Carr not only leads Baylor with 19.0 points per game this season, but that ranks him 56th across all Division 1 players as well. He finished the regular season with at least 21 points in three of his final four games.

Carr only had 13 points in the game before that, which came against these Sun Devils. We’ll see if he can get back above his season average in the opening game of the Big 12 Tournament.

Baylor vs. Arizona State Prediction and Pick

Both of these teams were much better at home than they were on the road this season, so it’s a bit scary backing either side in a neutral site game. However, Baylor has won all seven meetings against Arizona State, and the Bears have the two best players on the court in Carr and Tounde Yessoufou.

I wouldn’t lay much more than this -2.5 spread on Baylor, though, as I do expect this to be a game that comes to the final minutes. But the Bears are the only way I can look in this one.

Pick: Baylor -2.5 (-102)
