penn state has been playing very good basketball as of late....if i was to take anyone in this game i would take psu...

i said in another thread that not only would psu cover against ND when people were saying nd would win by double digits, i said they would WIN...and they did, pretty convincingly

if the officiating is the same as it was tuesday night where they let the kids play and bang around in the paint, psu will win this game without a doubt, if not, it should be close

i think psu wins by 8

good luck

Baylor has been playing very well as of late, and the feeling here is they are a more complete team.

Best of luck to you as well, and good call PSU over ND.

The first full game I have watched both teams play this year was on Tuesday.. Baylor has a nice trio of guards that can get hot from deep but they are absolutely IMCOMPETENT under their basket.. I think PSU is the more complete team and I think they should win.. You saw what happens when a team that relies heavily on the 3-pt shot, ND, goes cold.. I am really liking PSU here, but certainly waiting to hear what everyone else has to say.

i agree, but i have been waiting for baylor to go cold since the second half of the Kansas game in the Big 12 tourney. maybe this is the game. i am likely to stay away to be honest, but i would love nothing more than jerrells and dunn to go cold for the better part of this game and see baylor get bounced by 10+. they are playing out of their minds right now. all good things come to an end and i DO NOT see this team as complete as everyone else does. since the NIT started this is the FG/3PT FG % for all 4 games...61%/47%, 62%/48%, 50%/38%, 52%/50%. The Auburn game being the only game they were not near 50% from downtown and they barely snuck by. For a team that shot 36%-37% from beyond the arc all season long, they are living a charmed life right now. I just can't roll with a team that lives and dies by the 3 right now. If they shoot closer to their season average tonight, they will have a hard time covering and likely lose outright. BOL to all.

Baylor guards are insanely good and they will win this.

PSU was said to be the first out of the NCAA Tournament, therefore they should win the Not Important Tournament. PSU essentially has the home court advantage. I know a lot of people who are making the trek from State College and the tri-state area. ESPN THURSDAY HOME DOGS! Just like NCAAF!!

They took 16 buses on Tuesday from Crappy Valley (hehehehe) to MSG.. I'd expect tonight to be even more!

Believe in yourself bill! The under is coming!!! This is a very weird game for me cuz my instincts say OVER AND PENN... but the #'s show BAYLOR and UNDER lol.

I think I would side with the #'s today... but i'm on a 2 game losing streak (cuz of my instincts) I went back to test the #'s and it got the totals correct in all the games but it looks like it wants to favor unders. It lost 2 games in the last week but of course I only played MY INSTINCT games and not the #'s

 

[jackleg]

Bill my thought totally. State is outmatched at every position I think PENN will have problems scoring I like baylor and the under also good luck

 

[Prof.Hinsley]

I'm on Baylor, they have insane young talent, and now they made it to the finals, I think they showcase why they should have been a part of the Big Dance. I got Baylor -3.5.

 

[Chankstain]

Its 40 fullington buses that left at 12 today......13 for the old alum and 27 for PSU students.....


Lets not forget Psu should have lost to george mason on there home court if laranaga woulda fouled battles at half court....

baylor has won every game away easily....
i recall from the last three baylor games that they were up at least 15 to 20 only to slow the clock down the last 5 minutes of every game.....

the only thing that I'm feeling strongly about is the under. Penn St. and all the Big 10 teams take the air out of the ball.

 

[Ilovetobet]

Penn St for me!
