Their recovery hit the skids over a month ago when the defense went kaput and the Bears won just one of nine games at a perfectly awful 0-9 ATS. But Baylor stopped the madness on Saturday with a 75-57 win over Colorado (+14.5) to keep hope alive for a trip to the NIT. Now the Bears need a miracle: a win Monday night in Austin against the Texas Longhorns (19-9 SU, 10-15 ATS).

Not that this has been the greatest season in Longhorns history. They got back into the AP rankings after winning four of five games, but lost 68-59 at Oklahoma State (-1) on Saturday. Texas is 2-7 ATS since the last time these two teams met back on Jan. 27; the ”˜Horns won that matchup 78-72 as 1.5-point road dogs.
