Saturday College Basketball Odds
(The Spread) – There is arguably no team in the country playing better basketball than the third-ranked Texas Longhorns, who are in action Saturday afternoon.
Texas has been nearly flawless as of late as it has gone over 264 minutes without trailing for a single second of game action. The Longhorns (23-3) will attempt to continue that streak at 1:30 PM EST as they travel to the upset-minded Nebraska Cornhuskers (17-8).
Oddsmakers and online sports book Sportsbook.com have made Texas 6.5-point favorites. According to the latest trends, Texas is 1-1 against the spread versus Nebraska over the past three seasons. The Longhorns are 16-5 ATS in all lined games this season.
In its 11 Big 12 Conference games, Texas has been behind for under 33 of those minutes and 29 of those were against No. 1 Kansas before the Longhorns rallied to end Kansas’ lengthy home winning streak. Since a Jan. 8 overtime loss to Connecticut, Texas has won all 11 of its games by at least nine points.
Nebraska has played well recently with a home victory against Oklahoma State followed by Wednesday’s 59-58 win at Oklahoma. Lance Jeterleads the Cornhuskers at 11.0 points per game, while teammate Jorge Brian Diaz puts in 10.4 per game.
Sophomore Jordan Hamilton paces Texas with 18.7 points per contest and 7.6 rebounds, while Tristan Thompson averages 12.8 points.
Elsewhere in college basketball, No. 1 Kansas hosts Colorado and is a 14.5-point favorite. Fourth-ranked Pittsburgh is a 3.5-point favorite at St. John’s. Sixth-ranked San Diego State is at Air Force and is an 11.5-point favorite.
There are a total of 17 top-25 teams in action Saturday.
