Big 12 Tournament Semifinals: Baylor Bears +1.5 over Kansas Jayhawks

The odds for tonight’s Baylor vs Kansas game opened with Kansas listed as a -1 point favorite with the game total set at over/under 134. The line movements thus far have increased with Kansas currently a -1.5 point favorite and the total listed at 134.5. Both teams are clearly in the 2015 NCAA Tournament Bracket and a win tonight and tomorrow in the Big 12 Tournament Championship game will only improve the seeding of both teams.

There are plenty of reasons to love Baylor getting +1.5 on the spread tonight over Kansas. For starters, Baylor is playing outstanding basketball having won 6 of their last 7 games including an impressive 80-70 win in the Big 12 Tournament quarterfinals over West Virginia. That win was most impressive because it was the 3rd time this season the Bears beat the Mountaineers and that is very hard to do against a quality team like West Virginia.

Another reason to like Baylor tonight is Kansas is playing banged up as their leading scorer in forward Perry Ellis has missed the last two games with a sprained knee and he is questionable to play tonight. Even with Ellis in the lineup he will not be at 100% and Kansas is already shorthanded on their frontline as they have been playing without freshman forward Cliff Alexander the last four games as he continues to be investigated by the NCAA for receiving benefits against NCAA guidelines.

Kansas took both regular season matchup against Baylor as they won 56-55 on January 7th in Waco, Texas and then again in the rematch in Lawrence, Kansas with a 74-64 win on February 14th. Baylor has beaten Kansas both times in Big 12 Tournament meetings back in 2009 71-64 and in 2012 81-72. With Kansas banged up and Baylor playing great basketball and looking to get some revenge for losing both regular season matchups against the Jayhawks, we feel Baylor is a great pick at +1.5 tonight.
