Both of these offenses are capable of scoring 35+ points in a half with relative ease.
We could see an attempt to outgun each other early on.
Xavier is going to push the tempo, and Texas will be fine with it. Especially early in this game, look for both teams to get out and push the tempo to get this first-half total Over.
Texas vs Xavier Team Props
Texas Over 76.5 Points (-110) • DraftKings Sportsbook
WAGER: 1 unit
Xavier doesn’t have the defensive prowess to keep up with a Texas offense due for positive regression toward the mean.
Texas is balanced in their scoring attack with five players averaging nine-plus points per game, and any of them is capable of going for 20 or more on any given night.
Xavier is going to push the tempo, as they are sixth in the nation in KenPom adjusted temp, and Texas will take advantage with a ton of scoring.
Texas vs Xavier Player Props
Dylan Disu Under 22.5 PRA (-110) • DraftKings Sportsbook
WAGER: 1 unit
Disu had his best game of the season his last time out, but that was against a severely undersized Penn State team that had no answer for his length.
Xavier matches up much better in the interior, even without center Zach Freemantle, and should be able to neutralize his length.
Disu had arguably his worst four games of the season against Tennessee, Creighton, Texas Tech, and Oklahoma State.
Unconicidentaly, those are some of the biggest teams Texas played this season according to KenPom, which is why this is my CBB pick of the day.
