T.M. Selection: Texas/Kansas UNDER.

I am on the under in the Texas vs Kansas game on Saturday. I expect this to be a low scoring game since both of these teams play well on the defensive end of the court. Texas has scored a variety of different point ranges in their games this year but on offense they only average less than 70 points per game. They don't need to put up a lot of points in their games though since they give a great defensive effort and they have been giving up less than 60 points per game this year. Lately, they've been letting their games get a bit out of hand but they still have 2 games in their previous 4 where neither team put up 70+ points in the game, and both of those games were their 2 most recent games against another ranked opposing team. They just lost on their home court in their most recent game 68-61 to Baylor, and the other was a loss on their home court to Texas Tech where they lost 61-55. The previous time they met with Kansas, they won on their home court in a higher scoring 79-76 game. I don't think they will put up as many points in this road game though and I expect Kansas to dictate play a bit more in this game. Kansas will be seeking revenge for that loss earlier this year and I think they will play with some extra motivation to win here. I also think that with that extra motivation to play here will come a very good defensive effort on their part and I think they can force some turnovers in this game. Kansas, just like Texas, plays great on the defensive end but they have been giving up more points than Texas while also scoring more points than them. I think Kansas won't be able to put up a ton of points in this game with Texas' defensive effort but I also think Kansas will give their own defensive effort to win this game and I really think Texas will struggle in this road game to put up points since they have not been great in road games this year. I expect this to be a low scoring game, I like the under here.

T.M. Prediction: 66-60 Kansas.
