Baylor vs Arizona Preview

Baylor has bright spots but has struggled recently

Baylor will come into this game after a 3-point Overtime loss against the West Virginia Mountaineers. They have lost half of their last ten games and haven’t won more than two games in a row since the beginning of 2025. It paints a grim picture of their prospects in March Madness. At any rate, 6’5” forward Norchad Omier has been a double-double threat throughout the season and has kept their season alive.

Arizona has lost a couple of close games.

Arizona will enter the game after a four-point loss against the Houston Cougars despite a 17-point performance by Caleb Love. They are on a two-game losing streak after a 6-game winning streak. Caleb Love has been a terrific scorer and playmaker for the team whereas Jaden Bradley has done a neat job supporting Love.

Hi, I am Shubham. I am currently an NBA Predictions Writer on The Playoffs. I enjoy this job because it helps keep me in the loop about the game I love while fulfilling the pleasure I derive from stats. I got into NBA writing through social media interactions in the mid-2010s as I shared my takes on young talents such as D’Angelo Russell. I hope you enjoy reading my pieces as much as Dennis Rodman loved rebounding the basketball!
