CBB Props and Pick'em

Diop is a solid player, but this number is too high in this matchup. While Baylor struggles to defend shots at the rim, allowing a 65% FG%, they rarely give up attempts at the rim, with the fourth-lowest rim rate allowed in the country at 26%. Baylor will also minimize the number of free throws Diop sees, giving up just a 31% free throw rate in conference play. In the first matchup this season, Diop did not attempt a single free throw, and scored 10 points on 11 attempts. He's reached 17 points just 6 times in 18 conference games, and the Baylor defense should prevent him from doing so today.
