At the beginning of the season, Baylor was a top March Madness betting favorite. Many believe that the Bears were Final Four material one year ago. But the pandemic prevented Baylor from proving its worth. Arkansas is something of a surprise team. Indeed, the Razorbacks were rated a March Madness contender. But gamblers weren’t so sure about a trip to the Elite Eight. Both the Bears and Razorbacks bring plenty of offense. By contrast, Baylor has a vastly superior defense. And that may prove to be the difference Monday night.
