Arizona State vs. Texas Spread Pick
- Texas -7 (4 units)
Both teams come in 4-1 on the season, with their losses coming to tough squads. Arizona State fell to #19 Gonzaga at home while Texas was dropped by #6 Duke in their opener in Charlotte. Texas is the better team on both ends of the floor and they do have one of the most experienced teams in the nation to lean on in their rotation. Arizona State saw Hurley build a new rotation on the fly after last season and only their win over Hawaii came over a team ranked better than 270th in the KenPom rankings. Texas has been good defensively though they too have faced pushovers. Still, with the edge on both ends and the Sun Devils still figuring all the pieces out, take the Longhorns to advance here.
