Analysis: This pick doesn’t require much guesswork NCAA basketball betting fanatics despite the fact that the Texas Longhorns are playing on the road in this contest. The Aggies are mired in a horrific funk at the moment having dropped six of its last eight games overall and should fall to the more cohesive Texas Longhorns in this contest.
