To begin with, it is Kansas and not Baylor that is a marquee blue blood program. And the most “public” of teams when it comes to the CBB Betting board. Coach Bill Self has maintained a basketball tradition that goes back generations. To counter is a Baylor program that is “new money.” Casual gamblers still don’t see the Bears as a top tier Final Four contender. On the other hand, sharps saw Baylor’s potential long ago. Bears backers have full pockets for the year. Coach Scott Drew has had his team atop the national rankings most of the season.
