Slaying the sportsbook is a monstrous task. Some days bettors take up residence in a penthouse suite. Other times, they curl up in the nearest ditch, shirtless and toothless. In an attempt to avoid complete destitution, I will post my picks, whether profitable or penniless, through the NCAA tourney. Check out Tuesday's selections below:  West Virginia (20-5, 14-8 ATS) at Texas (16-9, 12-12)  – Voracious zombies to a pile of fresh meat. That's how the Mountaineers defend. Bob Huggins' basketball brand isn't the prettiest. WVU, which sorely lacks consistent competency offensively, relies heavily on creating chaos through pressure to wear opponents to the bone. It's by necessity. Bricklayers from outside (No. 306 in 3PT%), it must force turnovers and generate second-chance opportunities to compete, which it does at a breakneck pace. No club has forced more mistakes or grabbed more offensive rebounds than the Mountaineers. Saying they're 'relentless' would put it mildly.   Texas, led by guards Isaiah Taylor and Javan Felix, has the backcourt to counter WVU's press. When the two teams first battled, Jan. 20 in Morgantown, UT committed only nine turnovers. Both schools struggled offensively, but the 'Horns' conversions from three and at the free-throw line proved to be the difference. Much improved across the board since then, they should yield a similar result. Recall Shaka Smart's club has not dropped a home game since December.  Prediction: Texas (-2) 64 West Virginia 60  Continue to Article

Baylor
Iowa State played two players off the bench for a combined 20 minutes against Baylor five weeks ago and folded down the stretch in a high-scoring defeat at home. Starters like Georges Niang and Monte Morris still are the catalysts for the 13th-ranked Cyclones, but the recent suspension of Jameel McKay helped some regular reserves emerge. Iowa State looks to win back-to-back games for the first time since late last month by dealing the 25th-ranked Bears a fourth consecutive home loss in Big 12 play Tuesday night. Continue to Article

Baylor
Keenan Evans scored a career-high 21 points and had two steals in Texas Tech's go-ahead run as the Red Raiders upset No. 21 Baylor 84-66 on Saturday night, giving them their second consecutive win over a Top 25 team. Justin Gray had six of his 17 points in a 10-0 spurt that put Texas Tech (15-9, 5-7 Big 12) ahead to stay. Zach Smith added 16 points for Texas Tech, and Aaron Ross had 14. Continue to Article

Baylor
Baylor's season was taking a serious hit with a five-game span of questionable defense, but its latest victory showed promise. Much of Texas Tech's Big 12 slate has been marred by an inability to score, though it overcame that earlier this week to finally beat a ranked opponent. The Red Raiders will put that to the test once more seeking an elusive road win against the Top 25, though the 21st-ranked Bears are after their fifth straight win in the series with their No. 2 scorer and top rebounder likely to return.
