The Longhorns key to this game will be the Longhorns ability to shut down the opposition, particularly from long range. The Illini have shot 48% from the field but have struggled against top flight competition this season and this is the toughest team they've seen all year. Texas will force turnovers and turn them into transition baskets. The Longhorns are extremely efficient on both ends, 15th on offense and 3rd on defense. Texas at home should get the win and cover here on Tuesday night!
