The Texas Longhorns are facing a big letdown not playing in the NCAA Tournament for the first time since the 1997-98 season. This will be a mediocre team with a losing record at 16-17, playing on the road in a game they don't even want to be in. Houston will have other ideas,with a chane to take down an in-state Big-12 opponent on their homecourt. Houston lost just four games on their homecourt all season, and all four of those teams had a winning record. They have also handled all losing opponents here this season. Texas has the name, but not the game this time around, and the Cougars are going to be amped up as a very live dog in this one. Go with Houston.
