Colgate Red Raiders vs Texas Longhorns Point Spread Picks

Rodney Terry has done a tremendous job after taking over from Chris Beard in midseason and Texas won its fourth straight and fifth cover in a row by routing Kansas 76-56 to win the Big 12 tournament on Sunday. The Longhorns dominated and made Kansas look totally out of sync and they won and covered in three games in three days. Dylan Disu stepped up and averaged 14.7 points in the conference tournament and Marcus Carr scored 16.2 per game in the regular season. Tucker Richardson recorded a triple-double as Colgate rolled over Lafayette in the Patriot League championship game. The Raiders have won nine in a row, but they'll be going up against Power 5 team that is peaking at the right time and obviously has played a much tougher schedule. Texas has stayed UNDER its past five games and by an average of 16.5 points. The Longhorns allow 67.4 points per game compared to 69.0 for Colgate and Texas allows opponents a .420 field goal percentage and .327 from 3-point distance. Texas gives up 32.2 points in the first half compared to 32.9 for the Raiders. Both teams have gone UNDER four straight against teams with .600 winning percentages. Play Texas ATS, take the first half UNDER, and play the full game to stay UNDER.
