Taking Texas -16 for 3 Units.

When these 2 teams meet up, Texas almost always covers the line. Last game played (1/10) the line was set at 30 and UT played perhaps their flattest game of the year considering the opponent, even got outrebounded, but they still managed a 20 point victory. This was at a time when UT was still tinkering with lineups and trying to find a fit for the frosh PJ Tucker. They've since found complacency in their roles and are starting to play better as a team.

You can bet Texas will have the home court advantage even in Waco. If this team can beat Baylor by 20 last year when they had Lawrence Roberts (MSU), Kenny Taylor (UT), and John Lucas (OSU), then this will be a cakewalk for them tonight. This is a critical point in the Big 12 race and every game has huge implications in deciding who wins the trophy. Texas knows this and they should be focused.

Adding Michigan St. +6 (1 Unit)

I wouldn't be suprised to see the Sparts upset the Illini on the road. I think MSU keeps it tight throughout the game and stays within the number.

That's all for me.

F. M.:
Careful tonight on UT. Baylor has two players returning to their lineup, (adding 27 pts.). I'm an orangeblood from birth and basketball season ticket holder. I don't believe Texas gets up too high for Baylor. We'll win, but Baylor won't quit in their gym.
Good Luck.

Thanks for the heads up DL. Although I am certainly aware of Terrance Thomas and Guinn coming back tonight and providing more offense for their team, I just have the inclination that UT will show more spark than they did last time around and still manage a 20+ cover. This is not one of my stronger leans for me but I think Barnes will have them ready to play good ball for 40 minutes.

Hook 'em! ;)
