Miami-Florida vs Texas will be on the back burner of sorts for the this March Madness Easter Sunday game at 2:15 ET with Texas expected to dominate but don’t count out the underrated boys from Miami Florida. On a recent ESPN.com poll 93% of the nation is picking the Texas Longhorns to move on to the 3rd round of the NCAA Tournament and leave Miami in the dust. Sportsbetting.com has the Texas as -7 point NCAA College Basketball Betting Odds.
The overlooked key intangible in this game however is the longtime coaching associates Frank Haith and Rick Barnes send their respective teams into battle on this religious holiday and it will be emotional. The Canes wiped out St. Mary’s Gaels 78-64 in the first round as +1.5 point underdogs bringing their ATS record to an outstanding 16-7-3 clip. Miami Guard Jack McClinton was on fire dropping 38 points in a huge game for the college that saw UM win their first NCAA tournament game in
Sportsbetting.com 8 years. has the TOTAL at 140.5 point NCAA College Basketball Betting Odds.
The Longhorns have been a solid bet this season going 16-12-1 ATS being led by a trio of scoring threats that average double digits in points per game. Texas not only can score but they also excel at playing mistake-free basketball with an NCAA best 9.4 turnovers per game. While it looks to be a daunting task on paper I do remember a certain Florida Gators team winning a national title against all odds. Miami has bigger players than Texas when you take a closer look, but if they want to win they will need to bring their A-game for 40 full minutes to pull off the huge upset today.
