Texas vs. Mississippi Valley State prediction
Assuming that the Longhorns get another huge scoring output from not only Johnson, but other talented scorers like senior forward Arthur Kaluma and senior big man Kadin Shedrick, Texas should cruise to a victory against the Delta Devils this weekend.
Texas spread the ball around and spread out the scoring load, with five players scoring in double figures and three registering at least four assists in the win over Chicago State on Nov. 12.
Head coach Rodney Terry's squad is scoring the ball effectively, as you would expect in the past two tune-up games against Chicago State and the Houston Christian Huskies. Texas's defense has the chance to continue to gel and build momentum and cohesion on that end of the floor before the Legends Classic against the Syracuse Orange next week vs. the Delta Devils on Saturday.
Final score prediction: Texas-95, Mississippi Valley State-50
