Baylor Bears to Host Arizona Wildcats in Big 12 Basketball Showdown
The Baylor Bears men’s basketball team is set to host the Arizona Wildcats in a Big 12 showdown on Monday, February 17, 2025, at 10 p.m. ET in Waco, Texas. The game, which will be broadcast on ESPN, comes as Baylor looks to capitalize on its strong home record, where the team is 12-1 outright this season. However, the Bears have struggled on the road, posting a 4-8 record away from Waco.
Arizona enters the game looking to snap a two-game losing streak. The Wildcats, who are 1.5-point underdogs according to betting lines, have faced challenges with their shooting, particularly from beyond the arc, where they rank 11th in the Big 12 with a 31.9% success rate. Baylor, on the other hand, prefers a slower tempo and ranks 14th in the conference in pace, which could help neutralize Arizona’s fast-paced style.
The Bears are coming off a hard-fought 74-71 overtime victory against West Virginia on February 15, where Caleb Love led the team with 17 points, going a perfect 12-for-12 from the free-throw line. Baylor’s ability to control the game’s tempo and limit Arizona’s three-point opportunities could be key factors in Monday’s matchup.
The over/under for the game is set at 151.5 points, with analysts predicting a lower-scoring affair due to Baylor’s defensive focus and Arizona’s shooting struggles. Fans can follow the game on ESPN or stream it online, with live updates available through various sports platforms.
This game marks an important test for both teams as they continue their push toward the NCAA Tournament. Baylor’s home-court advantage and Arizona’s determination to break their losing streak set the stage for a competitive Big 12 clash.
