Arizona now on the road with a quick turn around heading to Waco tonight.
00:04
Basically a pick of here DRS for Arizona visiting Baylor.
00:09
How do you see this game playing out between the Wildcats and the Bears?
00:13
Hey, take a look at the free throw shooting between these two in a close
00:15
game.
00:15
Who do you want to lean to?
00:16
Well, it's one and two in conference play 79.3% in conference play for
00:21
Arizona then Baylor at 79.1%.
00:23
So that's where you say, okay, both of these teams going to make their free
00:26
throw shots.
00:26
Who's actually getting to the free throw line more?
00:29
We look at Arizona's defense in conference play been number one in the
00:32
conference and not allow you get to the free throw line.
00:34
You say why would that be important?
00:36
Why just told you they shoot close to 80% as a team talking about Baylor
00:40
getting to the free throw line.
00:41
Also point distribution for Baylor heading into this from the free throw
00:44
line third in conference play almost 22% of their points come from the free
00:48
throw line flip it over to the opposite side for Arizona.
00:51
I just told you they don't fail.
00:52
How about 15% of the points going against the defense going which is 16th
00:56
in the conference.
00:57
So if I'm at Baylor and I'm like, you know what?
00:59
I like to get to the free throw and make a lot of free throws.
01:01
I don't think that's going to be there so you can go through and acknowledge
01:03
him and the Aubrey Arizona offense is good looking for a bounce back.
01:06
But sometimes you just like to pinpoint one spot in this game that can make a
01:09
difference on a line at minus one and a half.
01:12
I just don't think Baylor is going to get enough free throw attempts here to
01:15
use that 80% to their advantage and maybe Arizona uses that in their favor.
01:19
I'll take the slight upset just based on the number at plus one and a half
01:23
with Arizona.
