On the other side of this matchup is the Texas Longhorns who sit with a 19-7 record and they have gone 12-14 against the spread. This is a Longhorns team that is having a disappointing season, but they have won three of the last four games. The only loss during that stretch was against Baylor. In the last game against Oklahoma, it took overtime to get the job done, but they were able to win by two points. The Longhorns are averaging 68.9 points while their defense is giving up 57.6 points per game. The 57.6 points per game given up is second best in all of college basketball. Forward Timmy Allen has been the top player for Texas averaging 11.9 points per game.

There were a lot of emotions surrounding the last game with Chris Beard going back to Texas Tech. Even though this game is now at Texas, I don’t see the result being much different in this game. Texas is going to struggle to defend against the Red Raiders offense, and that will be the difference. Back Texas Tech to get the job done and cover the spread.
