Baylor puts up on average, 80 plus points per game and Baylor are shooting 48.6% from the field. Clemson averages a little over 8 three point shots per game and Baylor can match them in that area. Both can put the offense in a hurry and both have several guys that are shooting in double digits. All this leads to a higher scoring match between the two. Baylor does not defend the interior as good as Clemson so they can give up more shots to them thus adding to the total. Clemson have a talented front court and Baylor will have to defend that better as this is an area where they need improvement and more shots will be scored. Baylor are also used to taking a lot of shots and getting second chance looks as they are top 30 in highest scoring, and have many athletic players who can shoot. So all in all, the total is a little lower than what the score will be at the end of this game. Both teams have averaged scores in the mid 70's all season so this game should end higher.

Clemson is 10-0 to the Over as a neutral court underdog of 3.5 to 6 points since 1997. Clemson is 7-1 to the Over after a win by 15 points or more this season. Baylor is 14-5 to the Over after a win by 15 points or more over the last 2 seasons. Baylor is 9-2 to the Over in all tournament games over the last 2 seasons.

Best bet: take the Over the Total.
