Oklahoma vs. Baylor Key Player to Watch

  • Nijel Pack, G - Nijel Pack

Nigel Pack is Oklahoma's top scorer, and he's coming off a strong performance against Colorado, where he put up 20 points, two rebounds, five assists, and two blocks. If he has another performance like that, the Sooners have a strong chance to advance to the College Basketball Crown final.

Oklahoma vs. Baylor Prediction and Pick

Instead of betting on a side in this game, I'm going to take the same bet I cashed in on in Oklahoma's first game of the tournament, the OVER. Both teams in this game have been all offense and no defense all season long.

Oklahoma ranks 47th in the country in effective field goal percentage but 250th in defensive efficiency. Baylor is a similar story, ranking 75th in effective field goal percentage, but 233rd in defensive efficiency.

Let's sit back and root for points on Saturday afternoon.
