Texas vs. Cincinnati

This should be an ugly game to watch, as a pair of very physical teams hit the floor to kick-off Friday Tourney action. There was a lot of speculation of Texas being on the bubble, but a win over Iowa State in the Big-12 Conference Championship sealed the deal, earning them a No. 11 seed. Cincinnati has had some big moments - none bigger than their win over Syracuse, but that was followed by a disappointing loss to Louisville where they scored just 44 points. It marked the 10th time this season that the Bearcats failed to get to 60 points, and the offense has been a liability all season. This should be a close game, and with J'Covan Brown on the court for Texas, he represents the biggest go-to player and the difference maker. The Longhorns are 7-2-1 ATS in their last 10 as a dog of +6.5 or less, so play on Texas in this one.
