Wake Forest at Texas

It is never disappointing getting to the NCAA Tournament, but there are a lot of questions surrounding these teams. Texas opened the season looking like a team ready to cut down the nets at the end of this tournament at 17-0, but how quickly they began to fall. They went from the No. 1 team in the country to a No. 8 seed over an eight week period. It is easy to see what went wrong for the Horns. The offense through their 17-0 start was producing 87.2 points per game, but since then, while they have gone just 7-9, the offense has lost 13 ppg! Wake Forest has met a similar fate, opening the season 18-5, but closing it at 1-5. The Demon Deacons’ offense has been the culprit. Wake averaged 78.8 ppg until finishing the last five games averaging 18.6 ppg less! That means combined these teams are now producing close to 32 ppg less than when they were peaking, ands that spells falling short of the total here, so UNDER gets the call.
