The set-up: The Longhorns are after their first tournament title, advancing to the finals after Kansas withdrew due to COVID concerns. In their last game they beat Texas Tech by a score of 67-66. The Cowboys are coming off a huge 83-74 win over Baylor as nine-point dogs. I think Oklahoma State is going to be in trouble here vs. this hard-nosed Texas defense which concedes just 68.2 PPG.

The pick: The Cowboys average 76.5 PPG, while allowing 72.2. The Longhorns average 74.6. But fatigue is a factor here. Nerves are a factor here. Expect each team to double down on the defensive end and for this total to fall "under" once it's all said and done.

This is a 9* TOTAL PLAY-BOOK on the UNDER OKS/Texas.
