He is a speedy 5&#8217;10&#8221; G that the Bears have to keep out of the lane. One guy the Longhorns really have to worry about is 7&#8217;1&#8243; C Isaiah Austin (13.6 ppg 9 rpg), who has the size and Texas cannot let him dominate in the paint. [ad-6571516]<\/p>\n<p>Texas leading scorer Sheldon McClellan (13.3 ppg) is coming off a game where he did not score and he and backcourt mate G Julien Lewis (10.4 ppg) must play well tonight, as Texas does not feature a lot of frontcourt scoring.<\/p>\n<p>Jonathan Holmes (6.7 ppg 6.1 rpg) and Ioannis Papapetrou (8.5 ppg 4.3 rpg) are the top 2 rebounders for the Longhorns and they are 6&#8217;7&#8243; and 6&#8217;8&#8243; respectively. They have to play good inside D tonight facing the 7&#8217;1&#8243; Lewis and 6&#8217;9&#8243; Cory Jefferson (11.9 ppg 8.3 rpg).<\/p>\n<p>In some betting trends for this Big 12 match up Baylor is 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games overall, 17-5 ATS in their last 22 games vs. a team with a losing S.U. record, and they have an Over record of 12-5 in their last 17 road games.<\/p>\n<p>Texas is 5-2 ATS in their last 7 home games, 7-1 ATS in their last 8 games following a S.U. loss, and they have an Over record of 4-0 in their last 4 home games.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Jason&#8217;s Pick:<\/strong> The Bears have covered the spread in their last 4 games at Texas, but that trend will not continue. Texas is solid at home and they will cover tonight facing a reeling Baylor squad.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Baylor vs Texas Betting!
