(NCAAB) Northern Iowa vs. Texas,
Point Spread: -4.00 | -110.00 Texas (Home)
Result: Loss
Northern Iowa vs Texas 9:50 ET
Longhorns (-) over Panthers- Shaka Smart got the Longhorns into the 'Big Dance' in his first season as head coach by preaching defense and it has paid off with a scoring defense that allows just 68 points a game while ranking second in blocked shots. Texas has the added advantage with the return of center Cameron Ridley who missed 20 games with a broken foot. Northern Iowa plays some defense themselves as they held opponents to 63 points per game but of course against weaker competition. This of course is the difference. Take TEXAS!
