The Davidson Wildcats and Texas Longhorns face off on Monday in a college basketball showdown at the U.S. Cellular Center.
The Davidson Wildcats started off their season with High Point last Wednesday, and it was a game they didn’t have a whole lot of issues scoring in. Davidson put up 51 points in the second half and that was enough to win 83-72. One concern for Davidson has to be with the defense that gave up 44 points, and in this game the defense is going to need to be a lot better. The best player in the last game for Davidson was Hyun-jung Lee who finished the game putting up 23 points, nine assists, and five rebounds. Kellan Grady also had a nice game putting up 20 points, six rebounds, and four assists. Overall four players scored in double figures. Even though the defense wasn’t great in the first game, to find success in this one, they are going to want to push the pace and get Texas up and down the court.
On the other side of this matchup is the Texas Longhorns who opened up their season against UTRGV and they had little issue coming away with a 91-55 victory. There wasn’t really any doubt that was a game that should have been a blowout, and in this game it’s going to be a much bigger test. Guard Courtney Ramey was the best pitcher in the last game putting up 20 points, seven assists, and five rebounds. Five different players put up double figures, and in this one it’s going to be important the offense finds success.
Texas is 2-7 against the spread in their last nine against the A-10. The over is 6-2 in Texas last eight games overall. Davidson is 7-1-1 against the spread in their last nine games against the Big 12 The under is 6-2 in Davidson’s last eight games played against non-conference opponents.
Davidson might not be as talented as a team, but they do have some talented scorers and their offense is going to keep them in this game. Texas should still come away with the victory, but it’s going to be tight. Back Davidson to cover the spread.
