Arizona Wildcats vs Texas Longhorns Point Spread Picks

Texas is a young team and the later you go in the tournament, the more of a role this plays. Texas returned two starters from last year while Arizona has four. Texas showed some real vulnerability in their opening round game. They beat Oakland, but only by 4 points and they gave up 81. That's cause for real concern. Arizona can hit from long range (40% from three on the season) and that's not a good thing for the Longhorns. Texas is 1-8 ATS the past two seasons on the road vs. good long-range shooting teams (37%+) in late season play. Arizona head man Sean Miller is 26-13 ATS in all tournament games he has coached. Under Rick Barnes, Texas is 14-25 ATS as a neutral-court favorite of up to 6 points. Take the Wildcats to keep this one close.
