Texas Longhorns vs #8 Kansas Jayhawks. The NCAAB pick for this game is the #8 Kansas Jayhawks.
In their matchup with Kansas State, the Longhorns overcame a subpar first-half performance with a second-half comeback. That won’t be sufficient in Allen Fieldhouse against a motivated Jayhawks team.
The Horns must take better care of the ball and make significantly better three-pointers if they hope to win or cover (4-of-16 vs. KSU). Despite Texas’ success in league play, the Big 12 race is far from over.
To stop a rushing back on third and goal in this game, anticipate the Jayhawks players to run like their hair is on fire and rebound like linebackers hitting the hole.
Jalen Wilson needs assistance if this kind of effort is required. The #8 Kansas Jayhawks will win to a predicted score of 77-71.
