Lafayette vs Texas Prediction 

Texas comes into this contest looking for their first win of the season, but they did play decently well in that loss to Duke. The Longhorns need to shoot the ball better in this game, but should face a much easier defense to play against. Lafayette allowed 85 points to St. Joe’s in their opener and we can’t really take much from that game against Dickinson. I think the Longhorns will come out strong and I think they will pour it on in the second half. Take the over here.
