Baylor is a -21 favorite facing Norfolk State. An outright win by the Spartans pays $1800 for every $100 bet. Baylor pays $1200 to win the Championship.
Norfolk State is fortunate enough that they will be facing a Baylor team that is without their top rebounder. Jonathan Tchamwa Tchatchoua's suffered a left knee injury and is out for the remainder of the tournament. The bad news for Norfolk State is that Baylor has mostly continued to win since losing Tchamwa a few weeks back. Ultimately they lost to Oklahoma in their final game of the season. They were a -12.5 favorite in that one.
Baylor has not lost by more than the current -21 point spread in their last seven games.
