Here’s how we’re betting Friday’s Sweet 16 contest between Texas and Xavier, which tips off at 9:45 p.m. ET on CBS.
Let’s start by acknowledging that, on paper, this line is probably shaded a point or two in Texas’ favor.
After losing its coach midseason and stumbling down the stretch in Big-12 play, Texas looked like a team with immense upside and the potential for an early upset. Five of the Longhorns’ last six opponents posted one of their five worst offensive showings of the year, and the sixth had its fifth-worst 3-point showing of the entire season.Texas is led by three senior guards – Marcus Carr , Sir’Jabari Rice and Timmy Allen – who spearhead the sixth-most experienced rotation in the country and are all capable of creating their own shot or setting up for others.
