Make it five in a row!

Scott Drew’s Baylor Bears are rolling now, having won five straight in Big 12 Conference play including emerging victorious in a clunker over the Oklahoma Sooners and handing the Kansas Jayhawks their third straight loss. Then attentions turn to previewing the Big 12/SEC Challenge tilt against Eric Musselman’s Arkansas Razorbacks and the short turn around to go on the road to Austin to face the Texas Longhorns.

L-Word or F-Word on Big 12 title chances.

The guys also make guaranteed picks for the rest of the games in the Big 12/SEC Challenge. Lock em in.

Next Games: Arkansas in Waco. (Saturday @ 3:00pm on ESPN); In Austin @ Texas (Monday @ 8:00pm, ESPN).
