These are two 20-Win basketball programs and these two teams are both ranked in the top 20 in the country. The difference though is when you take a closer look at who these teams are playing and how much they are winning by. Oklahoma has gone 0-5 ATS in their last 5 played and giving up almost 75ppg in those 5 and scoring less than 65ppg when playing away games. Texas on the other hand is a much more "controlled" basketball program; giving up just 55ppg and scoring 84ppg at home this year. Texas has covered 2 in a row ATS at home and there is no reason why they wont do it here. The last two games played were vs Kansas (won by 25pts) and vs Baylor (won by 27). Those huge home wins show that a Texas team ranked in the top 10 is simply in a different league than those lower in the ranking system such as Oklahoma. Look for Texas to continue dominating at home and take them to cover this one by many more than 10. Two stars on the Longhorns.
