Texas versus Wake Forest Betting
The breakdown: This game has the potential to be ugly. Both teams are struggling mightily to end the season, and both were looking far better than an eight and nine seed a few short months ago. Texas is favored by 4.5 points.
Why Texas will win: Texas won some big games in the first half of the season, and if that team is able to resurface again, it could surprise a few people in the early stages of the tournament. The Longhorns need to get out of the first round, first, and will rely on big man Dexter Pittman to guide them to a first round win.
Why Wake Forest will win: The Demon Deacons may be able to catch Texas on an off night, as Texas has had many of in the last half of the season. Wake Forest has athletes and can keep up with Texas, as long as the good Wake Forest team actually shows up.
Verdict: Texas by three.
