    UConn +7.5 @ Texas = TRAP!!!

    Don't fall for UConn +7.5 @ Texas.

    Think about this for a second:
    A top ten team (UConn) is coming off of a road loss to a respectable opponent (Notre Dame) and is going to be playing a bounce back game on ESPN. They are a sizeable dog too! Then by all means pound UConn +7.5!!!! Not so fast......

    Here is why you should take Texas:
    UConn is very limited when it comes to pure scorers. Texas has at least 3.
    UConn will have trouble rebounding against a team who has plenty of big bodies to clear out down low.
    Texas will dictate the tempo and have the momentum from the opening tip (+homecourt advantage).
    And most importantly: THE REVENGE FACTOR


    I had this game circled for over a week now. My pick: Texas -7.5 LARGE

    I agree as if you remember UConn was a 7.5 point dog at Pitt and they lost that game 78-63.I love Texas in this one.

    After watching UConn I thought they were a pretty imcomplete team besides Kemba. They have some good freshman in Napier and Smith, but it appears that they aren't ready to perform on a nightly basis.

    Yeah I missed the boat on this. I like Texas a lot in this game but I'm not willing to lay 8.5

    I feel like Uconn has more than enough talent to keep within 7.5. And Texas isn't composed enough to the shut the door so even if they do get a lead Uconn will continue to creep back.

    He is probably working hard on a new John Harrison bash.
