What to Know
The Texas Longhorns will take on the Texas A&M Aggies at 3 p.m. ET on Sunday at Dickies Arena. Texas is cruising in on a three-game winning streak while A&M is stumbling in off of three consecutive losses.
In a sloppy game that saw the teams combine for 23 turnovers, the Longhorns took down the UAB Blazers 67-57. Texas' success was spearheaded by the efforts of G Andrew Jones, who shot 6-for-8 from beyond the arc and finished with 20 points, and G Courtney Ramey, who had 13 points in addition to five boards.
Meanwhile, A&M also played a game with a lot of turnovers (25) and lost 67-62 to the Fairfield Stags. A&M's defeat shouldn't obscure the performances of G Quenton Jackson, who had 15 points and five assists, and G Savion Flagg, who shot 5-for-11 from downtown and finished with 17 points.
Texas is the favorite in this one, with an expected 9.5-point margin of victory. They may be expected to win, but bettors beware: they are only 2-5 against the spread when favored.
Texas' victory lifted them to 7-1 while Texas A&M's loss dropped them down to 3-4. We'll see if Texas can repeat their recent success or if A&M bounces back and reverse their fortune.
