Rotation # 712
Texas -4.5 over Oklahoma (loss)
Both teams are hovering on the NCAA Tournament bubble and playing for better seeding in the SEC Tournament. Both teams will need to show some kind of life in the SEC Tournament next week, or they probably won’t make the field for March Madness. The Longhorns have the advantage of being the home team, and they do have a size advantage with Oklahoma center Sam Godwin being out of the lineup this evening. Julian Larry, Jordan Pope, and Tre Johnson must be sharp at the guard position, and Arthur Kamula must look to protect the rims. In the last meeting, Texas dominated early and hung on for the win in Norman. Look for the Longhorns to get a big win at home, giving them confidence heading into next week’s conference tournament. Take Texas.
