    Why is Missouri such a big dog tonight at Texas?

    17-3 team that can arguably find its way into the Elite 8 this year are getting 7 points on the road against Texas? Now I know Texas has been on fire, but really 7 pts? Thats a lot of pts to give a Missouri team that can score with the best of them. They have really good guard play and will full court press you up and down the court. There is also some reverse line movement going on. Only about 40% of the public is backing Mizzou. Seems to me like this is a great play tonight.

    Texas has been playing lights out lately....Missouri's road schedule hasn't exactly been rough. This is Missouri's 5th road game of the season where they're 2-2. Missouri hasn't beaten a Top 10 opponent on the road since 1994

    Road Wins at LaSalle and Oregon....losses at Colorado and Texas A&M

    Texas has been playing some of the best ball in the country thus the big number.

    This is just way to many pts to give to a Missouri team that can score.

    well it basically means the game would be a pk at @ missouri, so it's not that outlandish. Mizz is the play though, Texas letdown coming back home from 2 good/great road wins

    These are the type of games that scratch your head but Texas ends up winning by 17

    PASS

    Mizzou is not a good road team, if you have a good point guard you can break their press and get a lot of easy layups and get to the ft line at will.

    Texas will get caught looking ahead to an even bigger game for them on Monday when they play Texas A & M, Missouri can sneak in and win outright, the play plus 7 points Missouri covers easily

    One could argue the same for Missouri as they have Ok St and Kansas over the next week

    Missouri are better than people think and when they're hot they're scorching. Missouri or pass imo. Way too many ESPN cats on Texas too.

    With the way Texas has been playing I can see them winning by 10+, however with that being said Mizzou is no slouch and I love taking teams with a lot of pts who can score in large margins.

    Missouri covered the spread against Texas A and M when they went into overtime. I think they have a shot in this game tonight. Texas has been playing great lately but they are due to have a bad game. When someone covers over 4 games straight in a row or more then they more than likely have an off night and that is what could happen tonight in that game.

    If you watched Mizzou @ Colorado you'll know exactly why they are getting so many points.
