Baylor, West Virginia need overtime to determine a victor

No. 2 Baylor against No. 3 West Virginia will be the most entertaining contest in the entire tournament.

We can’t guarantee this will, in fact, be the quarterfinal matchup, but the previous slide predicts the two will meet at this juncture.

Not only did the two split the season series between each other, but they also finished conference play at 12-6 apiece. Baylor and West Virginia are undoubtedly evenly matched and could make this Friday night matchup a fantastic one.

While I do have the Mountaineers edging the Bears, it won’t be easy for West Virginia. I have confidence Bob Huggins’ group will be victorious, regardless of how long the game takes.
