No. 2 Baylor (15-0, 8-0) takes on Auburn (10-7, 4-5) in the Big 12-SEC Challenge at 3:00 today at the Ferrell Center. The game airs on ESPN.
Baylor’s a 14 point favorite on most sports books now, which is higher than the opening line of 13.
KenPom has Baylor by 16, but Auburn’s only had their 5-star freshman point guard, Sharife Cooper, for six games. In the six games he’s played, Auburn is ranked No. 19 in adjusted efficiency, per Bart-Torvik.
Three Keys:
1) Make Sharife Cooper’s life miserable- Cooper is a likely lottery pick.
