After their loss against Middle Tennessee, they improved and haven’t lost in 5 consecutive games, playing better and better. They are on the rise and are shaping up to have a very good season.
The last match against North Texas, the neighbors of their next opponent, was won by a score of 83-71 and Quincy Olivari played at a high level, scoring 30 points in what has been his best game of the season.
They also count on Max Fiedler who is an outstanding player under the boards and assisting. Last year, he pulled down 9 rebounds and assisted on 5 occasions, so he knows how to distribute and is the backbone of the team. They already beat one of the Texan teams, and now they’re going for the other.
Betting on the Texas Longhorns
- Season record: 7-1
- BetMGM Spread: (To be defined)
- BetMGM Moneyline: (To be defined)
- BetMGM Over/Under: (To be defined)
Texas suffered a very recent loss, and that place them in a bad position before the match against one of the best teams in the tournament. The defeat was against Illinois 85-78, and while Illinois are among the nation’s best teams, before that loss they had registered 6 games without a loss.
Christian Bishop found a great level in the last few games. In the last one, which they won 88-43 to Arkansas, he scored 16 points and had 9 rebounds, but he has been one of the best players for several games, something that is welcome after Tyrese Hunter’s drop in level, who is the team’s points leader with 14.1 per game on average.
At home, they are undefeated and that will help them to recover their confidence because the loss that took away their unbeaten record hurt them a lot. Moreover, in the last game they were quite insecure and lost the lead in several periods as the mental aspect is not on their side at the moment.
JefeBet Prediction
Unfortunately for Rice, Texas is among the nation’s best, and they haven’t played against top-25 teams. The match will be played at Austin, where the Longhorns are very tough, so we believe they will beat the Owls, who will reach their third loss.
Texas will bounce back, and they will be very strong in front of their home fans. They will avenge their neighbors who could not win against Rice.
