Norfolk State at Baylor
(NCAAB) Spartans (NORF) vs. Bears (BAY),
Point Spread: 26.00 | -110.00 Spartans (NORF) (Away)
Result: Win
Special matinee action in Waco, but would expect MEAC contender Norfolk State to be wide awake later this morning. Better MEAC teams have not been that completely overmatched in high-profile intersectionals and the Spartans have some credentials after winning the CIT last spring. A big addition for HC Robert Jones has been ex-Murray State G Brian Moore, scoring at 20 pg for NSU, while sixth-year G Christian Ings (13,.3 ppg) was a key cog in the postseason run last March. Motivationally, might be more concerned on the Baylor side for this one, after the Bears have already faced five ranked teams. Baylor also recently had a sting of four straight spread Ls before a win over Abilene Christian. Interestingly, we saw this matchup in the first round of the 2022 Big Dance (then-powerhouse regional top seed Baylor an 85-49 winner). Play Norfolk State
