Arkansas-Pine Bluff vs Texas Prediction

Looking at the last 2 meetings in this series, it is nothing but carnage, but because the Point Spreads in mismatches like this can be so high, the Golden Lions actually covered ATS in the meeting on December 14, 2021, getting 35 points and only losing by 32 (63-31) here in Austin (Under, 134.5). In the last meeting between these two, the Longhorns won by 55 on December 10, 2022 (88-43) in a game that went under the 140 Total by 13 points. So there have been 2 Unders and 94 and 131 points scored in the two previous meetings, But even with the number here at 156.6, this NCAAB pick will look to the Total and the Over as there have been 154, 156, 152, 185, 154, 193, 162, and 162 points scored in the Golden Lions (3-0-0 Over last 3) last 9 games and with the way they score the Longhorns are sure to get 100 here so let’s look for another high-scoring game even if it is lopsided. A 105-51 game even gets to that end.

Kevin’s Pick: Arkansas-Pine Bluff-Texas Over 156.5
