Norfolk State Spartans

Norfolk State averages 78.6 points per game and continues to rely heavily on guard Anthony McComb III, who leads the team with 16.2 points, 5.1 rebounds, and 1.5 steals per game while shooting 42.5%. Elijah Jamison adds 14.0 points and leads the Spartans with 3.7 assists, giving the backcourt much of the team’s scoring and playmaking. Forward Devon Ellis contributes 11.0 points and 4.7 rebounds per game, while Jaquel Morris leads the team with 0.8 blocks.

The Spartans have produced steady scoring in most games, but struggles on the road have been a problem, highlighted by five straight losses away from home. Turnovers and defensive consistency have also created challenges late in games, and facing a high-powered Baylor offense will require fewer turnovers to remain competitive.

Baylor Bears

Baylor averages 87.8 points per game and has been strong at home, carrying a 4–0 record in Waco. Cameron Carr leads the Bears with 21.8 points, 5.6 rebounds, and a team-high 1.4 blocks, giving Baylor a dependable two-way presence. Tounde Yessoufou is the second-leading scorer at 17.8 points and leads the team with 2.1 steals, while Dan Skillings Jr. controls the glass with 7.8 rebounds per game. Obi Agbim adds 3.8 assists to guide the offense.

The Bears remain one of the most explosive scoring teams in the Big 12, with multiple players capable of stretching defenses. Their home-floor shooting and overall pace have led to strong offensive runs in each game played at Foster Pavilion, and the matchup favors Baylor’s ability to pressure the ball and finish possessions inside.

Norfolk State vs Baylor Prediction

Baylor’s scoring and defense give it a decisive edge, especially at home. Carr and Yessoufou pose matchup challenges for a Norfolk State defense that has given up over 70 points per game, and Baylor’s rebounding advantage will limit second-chance opportunities for the Spartans. Norfolk State’s guards will produce over certain stretches of the game, but over 40 minutes against Baylor’s pressure will be a difficult task. Final Score Prediction: Baylor Bears win and cover ATS, 95–68.
