The No. 2 Arizona Wildcats make a push toward the Big 12 regular season championship as they visit the ailing Baylor Bears tonight.
Both teams are trending toward the Under, so I’m betting on a low-scoring game with my Arizona vs. Baylor predictions.

Arizona vs Baylor prediction
Arizona vs Baylor best bet: Under 154.5 (-116)
Arizona is 2-8 O/U in its last 10 games, while Baylor is 2-6 O/U in its last eight. The convergence of those trends points to another lower-scoring matchup tonight.
The Wildcats will be shorthanded, likely without second-leading scorer Koa Peat (13.8 ppg) and Dwayne Aristode (+2.49 OBPR). Anthony Dell’Orso — who has been pivotal in recent wins with 44 points over his last two games, particularly in Peat’s absence — is also questionable with an ankle injury.
Meanwhile, Baylor’s offense (76th in adjusted efficiency since January 24, per BartTorvik) could struggle against Arizona’s defense, which ranks second over that span.

Arizona vs Baylor same-game parlay
You’d normally expect Arizona’s offense to feast against a mediocre-at-best Baylor squad, but several factors suggest this isn’t a blow-up spot for the Wildcats. They’ll be shorthanded, it’s a potential letdown after a massive road win over Houston, and Baylor’s defense has shown improvement of late.
With injuries piling up around him, point guard Jaden Bradley has played 37+ minutes in each of his last three games. He’s also grabbed four or more rebounds in three of his last four outings.
