While Texas is talented, its focus skews towards defense, which is what our college basketball picks are banking on defining this rivalry matchup with Oklahoma on Saturday afternoon.
There are still a lot of dominoes to fall, but the current forecast has these teams meeting again in the Big 12 Tournament as the No. 8 and No. 9 seeds. If Texas loses, then a rematch is assured, but if Texas wins and TCU beats UCF then the Longhorns will move to the No. 7 seed and avoid a rematch.What’s the best bet to make for the final iteration of this rivalry as a Big 12 regular season game?

Scoring is a team approach for Porter Moser’s squad — six players average between 8.4 and 13.6 ppg. None average more than lead guard Javian McCollum, who missed the Cincinatti game with a shoulder injury. Forward John Hugley IV also missed that contest with a knee injury and it’d be a surprise if we saw him Saturday, while McCollum is considered questionable.
I like the Longhorns’ defensive profile more than the surface-level box scores might indicate because they run teams off the 3-point line and defend the rim decently well. The Sooners don’t bring a whole lot to the table offensively, ranking 79th in Barttovik’s adjusted offensive efficiency since the start of February.
Disu is one of my favorite players in the country and I’m unnerved by his current injury. Although the team brushed off the knee injury after the Baylor game, his week has also been disrupted due to a stomach virus. Even if he suits up, it’s difficult to imagine him being at 100% or playing his best game. This line hasn’t moved yet after opening at Texas -5.5 across most books. One opened at -6 before quickly joining the fray at -5.5, and there is also a -4.
This is the second-highest total we’ve seen in the last 10 iterations of this rivalry. There have been four meetings in that span with a total in the 140s and they split at 2-2 O/U.
