Kansas at Texas

This is going to be a rough and tumble, physical conference game, as Kansas comes to Austin to take on Texas. These teams rank No. 1 and No. 2 on defense, but often times we see big offensive teams try to slow down the opponent. I expect both these teams to try and run and get quick looks before the defenses can get set, because they are both tough in the half court on the defensive end. There is a lot of talent on the floor as well, so these teams have the personnel to out-perform the defensive numbers. There is also a wildcard in play here as Kansas has a pair of top scorers that get to the line a lot, and both hit 88% on the season. Texas' top scorer is draining 81%, so there will not be many points lost at the line here. So in a physical game, I expect a lot of free throws. Go with the OVER.
