Texas vs. Arkansas-Pine Bluff prediction
Vegas is expecting a really high scoring game between Texas and Arkansas-Pine Bluff this afternoon. Texas is a 40+ point favorite in the pregame betting odds for the second time in non-conference play this season.
Arkansas-Pine Bluff is no stranger to facing major conference opponents in the non-conference slate this year. The Golden Lions have already faced four major conference teams on the road this regular season.
That doesn't necessarily mean that Arkansas-Pine Bluff has fared well, though, against top-tier competition. On Dec. 1, the Golden Lions fell to the Kansas State Wildcats in Manhattan by a score of 120-73.
Texas looked like a more complete team on the glass and moving the ball and getting into their offense earlier in the shot clock in the win over New Mexico State. It's crucial that the Longhorns continue to build on that momentum on the offensive end of the floor to build their offensive identity before SEC play in a few weeks.
