15-10 on various post season tourneys to date.Psu is 3-1 vs the spread in the NIT,not covering only in their 1st game vs geo mason.All games went over until the semis vs nd.3overs ,one under.Baylor is also 3-1 vs the number in this nit,failing to cover vs georgetown at home in their 1st game too.I grade teams vs the opening line and total.The total in the auburn game opened at 145-,it ended on 146,so I therefore grade baylors over/under record in the NIT as 4-0.A combined 7 out of eight games over between the two in the NIT games they've played tourney to date makes me look for an under.The score prediction sysytem I use (Lem Bankers system)needs four games as a starting place,and low and behold we've had four games all in this tourney to use for the calculation,making me more confident of its reliability.It comes out to a one point win by baylor and under,67-66.Don't hold me to the exact final score,if psu covers the 3- and the total stays under,the thing has done its job,I'm posting a final score just for kicks.Ot once again is a possibility in such a potentially close game,screwing up the under,but their o/u records indicate to me that that won't likely happen today.PSU certainly has the team chemistry thing going for them,baylor on the other hand has very athletic,explosive type players.PSU doesn't want an up pace game with these guys I wouldn't expect,though they run if they have the advantage upon occassion.Playing PSU+4-(yeah I'm buying the extra point on the side,I'm up for the week and can afford the luxury),and under 138.GL to all handicappers
