Baylor has pulled out a couple close hard fought wins at BYU and West Virginia in the past couple weeks. The Bears come into this game unbeaten.<\/p>\n<p>Mississippi State has eight players who play a lot of minutes. The Bulldogs have four guys averaging double figures in points this season. Renardo Sidney is starting to step up like the coaches had hoped he would for a while now. Sidney averages 10.2 points and 4.8 rebounds per game. [soliloquy id=&#8221;82219&#8243;]<\/p>\n<p> Dee Bost is an ultra-talented point guard who creates open looks for his teammates. Arnett Moultrie has been the real star of the team so far this year. Moultrie is a transfer from UTEP, and he is averaging 17.8 points and 11.7 rebounds per game. The Bulldogs average 77.2 points per contest.<\/p>\n<p>Baylor probably has the single most talented frontcourt in all of college basketball. Perry Jones III is a player the NBA scouts drool about. Jones is averaging 14 points and 7 boards per game. Quincy Miller is only a freshman, but he is making a major impact for this Bears squad. Miller is a versatile forward who can shoot it well and get on the glass as well. Quincy Acy is a fourth year senior who gets the job done consistently. Acy doesn\u2019t get the recognition that some of the other stars on this team get, but he is a winner. Baylor\u2019s athleticism and length make it tough for opponents to get quality shots. Opponents are shooting just 36.5% against this Bears team.<\/p>\n<p>Both of these teams can score in bunches. Expect Bost to put up some points against Baylor\u2019s guards, but Baylor should win the battle in the frontcourt. I think this one goes over.<\/p>\n<p>Prediction: Baylor 76 Mississippi State 69<\/p>\n<h3><a href=\"https:\/\/www.capperspicks.com\/respsportscapping.php?premium_picks\/leg,cbb\/NFC,AF23_15\"><strong>CLICK HERE FOR THE BEST NCAA BASKETBALL HANDICAPPING PREDICTIONS ALL SEASON LONG \u2014\u2013&gt;<\/strong><\/a><\/h3>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>NCAA Basketball Matchup: Mississippi State vs. Baylor Wednesday\u2019s college hoops slate is a pretty big one, but there isn\u2019t a bigger matchup on the card than this one.
