NCAA Basketball Big 12 Bets takes a huge leap of faith, err, coin flip on Tuesday night. The Baylor Bears lost over the weekend to Kansas by 16 points. It was their first large conference loss after four straight wins. This Big 12 conference keeps staying so close together. Determining who has the momentum can be more challenging than figuring out who may win on any day or night.
Now, the Kansas State Wildcats keep having their problems. Does the team find a way to bounce back after their narrow win against Iowa State? This came after consecutive road losses to Texas Tech and Oklahoma. The one thing about the Big 12 is any team can seemingly lose against any conference opponent. It is this dilemma that drives bettors insane. With so many evenly matched teams, the difficulty level only increases here.
Baylor can beat anyone in this conference, but their shot selection can be so poor. That is partly how the Bears fell behind by so many points at Kansas. This Bears team believes they will shoot out of an in-game slump from the perimeter. That becomes the overall bad part about college basketball. Instead of chipping away at a deficit, teams keep bombing away.
So, given the closeness of the past few games, NCAA Basketball Big 12 Bets wonder if this could be another high-tempo game. Both teams want to win this game to get closer to the conference’s top. Baylor still believes it can get to a one seed. Can the Bears avoid that chuck it up mentality? Bovada Online Sportsbook likes their chances on Tuesday night, even laying 1.5 points.
NCAA Basketball Big 12 Bets heads to the over on Tuesday. In the past few weeks, these teams have struggled at times scoring. Playing Iowa State can slow things down. Kansas State found that out in their last game. Baylor gave up 87 points to Kansas. and Kansas State can push things up and down the court at home. Some of what occurred at the last meeting tells a tale for this second clash.
They were figuring both teams to go above 70 points on Tuesday night. Points coming in waves was inevitable especially in the first half of the opening meeting. The two teams nearly topped 50 points each. Things settled a bit in the second half, but the over had long since connected by then. Overtime added 20 more points, so the 192 was slightly inflated. The two squads shot over 50% from the field, which may occur again.
Is Jerome Tang thankful for a schedule like this? The Kansas State coach may want to be careful what he wishes for. Scott Drew’s Baylor team faced the fourth toughest schedule coming into this battle. That helps, and though Kansas State ranks 13th here, Baylor has been in these types of game far more often. Going back to last year, that tested mentality has to help here. The Bears can push offense even on the road. We know Kansas State does at home.
Finally, riding the transition games is a good idea in wagering tonight. That over of 145.5 should tumble late, and the potential of a close game could push a few more free points via the charity stripe. Both teams could get to the line 15-20+ times.
The NCAA Basketball Big 12 Bets get big for Texas. Why? Now, Iowa State can slow teams down. Their games often feature a bit of ugliness, like last year’s Creighton BlueJays. Other than a few blips, Iowa State usually plays in the 120’s and 130’s when it comes to combined points. They allow about 61 points per game while scoring less than 70 a night.
Texas needs this win to stay in first place in the Big 12 and get that one seed for the conference tournament. At 10-4 in-conference, anything can still happen. Their last three games are at Baylor, and TCU, then home to Kansas. That is a hell of an ending to the regular season. It is why this home battle with the Cyclones becomes so important.
It is why seven points worries bettors some here. The over becomes more interesting because the previous meeting irked Texas badly as they allowed 78 points to the Cyclones. Texas wants to play fast and loose on Tuesday to keep Iowa State from settling into half-court play too much. Marcus Carr and Sir’Jabari Rice could top 20 points each in this game.
Our NCAA Basketball Big 12 Bets utilizes more Betting Site Vegas Online Bonuses to boost the bankroll heading into this week of action. It is okay here to trim down on the units bet. Wagering a few dollars per matchup instead of $10-20+ pays off on Tuesday night. Be smart.
NCAAB online betting sites point to more college basketball on Tuesday night! Good luck.
