It doesn't get a lot better than this. These Texas rivals are, for now, on the good side of the bubble. Texas is just 17-11 on the season, but has played a tough schedule and comes into this game with a KenPom rating of 31. Texas A&M is 19-9 on the season and has a KenPom rating not far from Texas, at 36. This total may be a bit high in general, but I think, with what is at stake here, the defense for both these clubs is going to have an impact on deciding the game. Both teams can score, but with so much on the line, I project this game to be best in the 150s, not enough to push the total over the top. My play is UNDER the total.
