Head To Head

  • This is the first meeting between the two teams

Baylor Form

Baylor have struggled for consistency in recent weeks, but they have won five of their last seven games.

The Bears enjoyed a three-game win streak late in the regular season that included an 82-74 victory when they hosted Kansas.

They wrapped up that part of the campaign with a loss though, falling 78-68 at Texas Tech, and they have not strung together wins since then.

Baylor opened their Big 12 tournament campaign with a 68-56 win over Cincinnati, only to then lose 76-62 when they took on Iowa State.

The Bears bounced back in the first round of the national tournament though, cruising to a 92-67 victory over Colgate.

Clemson Form

Clemson are through to the second round, but their recent form is poor with three defeats coming in their last five games.

The Tigers dropped two of their final three games of the regular season, sandwiching a 90-75 home win against Syracuse with road defeats to Notre Dame, 69-62, and Wake Forest, 81-76.

They then made a brief appearance at the ACC tournament as they fell at the first hurdle.

Clemson were awarded a first-round bye in the conference tournament, only to lose 76-55 when they took on Boston College in the second round.

The Tigers were able to avoid a third consecutive defeat though, beating New Mexico 77-56 in the first round of March Madness.

Verdict

Baylor’s form has not been the greatest in recent weeks, but they are the better team.

Clemson do not have the firepower match the Bears’ explosive offense, so we expect a Baylor win and cover.
