College basketball: Baylor, Creighton good teams to bet on

The start of the college basketball season is near. I wager on college football from opening night to the national championship game.

Baylor lost to North Carolina in the second round of the NCAA Tournament last season. LJ Cryer was the leading scorer before he was injured. Cryers, Adam Flagler and Keyonte George are the best guards in college basketball. The Bears were a good offensive-rebounding team and defended the perimeter well. They ranked 159th in 2-point percentage defense.

Sportsbooks are offering good odds for 2022-23 champion. Creighton Bluejays are 25/1 to win the Big East Conference. Baylor is a transfer from South Dakota State. Creevil was one of the youngest teams in the country last year and returns loads of talent.

Creighton is 25/1 to win the Big East this season. The Bluejays lost two of their top scorers last season, but they have a talented team with three star players. Creighton has a tough schedule early in the season and could get off to a slow start.
