Ekpe Udoh netted 20 points and hauled down 13 rebounds for a double-double in leading Baylor to a 68-59 victory over Sam Houston State on Thursday in the opening round of the NCAA tournament. Baylor failed to cover the 10.5-point spread, while the teams played UNDER that game's posted total of 149.
NCAA Bracket Picks: Baylor struggled offensively for a good portion of its first-round game before pulling away late. ODU is a much better, and a much more physical defensive team than Sam Houston State. But the Monarchs' offense isn't always productive, especially from the perimeter. OLD would much prefer to score in the low post, but the presence of Baylor's Ekpe Udoh will make that difficult. The key in this game is how effective ODU's guards can be defensively against the Baylor back-court of Tweety Carter and Lace Darius Dunn. ODU is the best bet in this game ATS while getting +4 1/2 points.
