    how will Texas lose on a homecourt??
    kinda has the feel to it like UNC v. Wa st....

    just looking for some opinions on this one as i am pretty substantially invested in it....

    i know the Lopez twins is a big key to this game, but is it just my opinion that texas has too much for the cardinal to keep up?? especially with a bit of a home court advantage???

    all feedback appreciated

    getting nervous now about texas, even though i think they are the better team....

    i used this argument last night about Wazzou.... supposedly, 86% percent of public on Texas and the line hasnt moved an inch in over a day....

    i have seen that phenomenon time and time again, and almost everytime the team that the majority is against wins comfortably in this situation

      stingy...its sounds like your second guessing yourself bruh...i honestly think that texas has the slight advantage since they are essentially at home....if this game was played anywhere else but texas then i would be nervous if i were you....texas has superior guard play and Stanford has the edge with the big men....just to help ease your mindset....Texas has been hitting 47 percent from three and 45 percent from two....abrams has been getting off...bol bruh

        If Stanford defends the perimeter, they can win. That's it.

          Or if Texas goes cold from the perimeter. Or if Atchley and/or James gets in foul troouble early. Or if UT gets out-coached. (See any of my 135 threads about UT playing zone against Kansas last year, then realize they did the same F&cking thing in the Big XII championship (with Chalmers and Rush raining 3's). If they were playing for a 2 seed and home court in the sweet 16, then brilliant, I say, but something tells me that wasn;t the case.

            Texas is a deep team and they can all handle the ball pretty well. Stanford is a solid club but prone to abortions. Obviously they have the advantage inside with size but athletically its Texas hands down.
            Like Texas here but still not sure if I'm going to lay down any units.

              Probably the same way Texas A&M lost on their "home court" last year.....

                  Im on
                  Texas -1 1h
                  Texas -2
                  Memphis -2 1h
                  for a unit each (counting these as posted bets)
                  Only thing that scares me for my texas bets is Brook Lopez (+robin to back him up). The guy is unstoppable. Going with texas though based on Home-Court and far superior guard play Augustin and Abrams will carry them for the W

                    Lopez is good for sure but he cant play all 40 minutes at all 5 positions. Going with Texas....better depth and better basketball players head to head.

                      How is Texas going to stop the Lopez brothers?

                      should be a great game that goes down to the wire.

                        texas impressed in the 1st half. Games playing out as I'd hoped.
