Why Bet on the Texas Longhorns?

Coming off a win, the Texas Longhorns sit at the 15th spot of the AP Top 25 list and 16th in the Coaches Poll. They are confident coming into this game as they ran over the Iowa State Cyclones in a 67-81 win in their recent game.

They are on track with their defense and now dealing with improving their offensive measures. Thanks to Andrew Jones, the Longhorns’ offense has been on point, averaging 15 points, 5.1 rebounds, and 2.1 assists, shooting 40.2 percent on the field.

The Longhorns went as high as No. 4 in the national rankings but has slid down to the 15th spot. We can look forward to a long grind by the team as they would want to finish strong, improving their College Basketball odds before March Madness tips off.

Why Bet on the Oklahoma Sooners?

This is the last chance for Oklahoma to redeem themselves after a 3-game losing streak. Since their nail-biting win against Texas in January, they managed to collect four wins in eight games. Now that they hold homecourt advantage in the upcoming game, they get a chance to finish strong.

Expect Austin Reaves to lead the way for the Sooners’ offense this game. The senior guard puts up 17.6 points, 5.7 rebounds, 5.1 assists, and is shooting 43.6 percent in the field.

He could be Oklahoma’s saving grace from the slump that they are in. For their final encounter, we anticipate the Texas vs. Oklahoma odds sharply contested.

Texas vs. Oklahoma Expert Betting Prediction

The Sooners are on a nosedive, as they continue their search for a way out of their current slump. A game at home against a team they’ve already defeated this season could be the cure to their malaise.

Texas has momentum, though, after beating Iowa State. Plus, it wasn’t that long ago when Shaka Smart’s boys took down the Kansas Jayhawks. Which side will you pick?
