Xavier has won seven games in a row and are playing well down the stretch. They have been really good at hitting their shots at the free throw line and are good at their 3 point shooting and conversion percentages. Texas will be competitive but Xavier will break away late and win and cover in this game. Xavier is 6-2 ATS in their last 8 games while Texas have only covered three of their last twelve games and they are also 1-10 ATS against an opponent in the Big East Conference. Xavier is also 4-1 ATS as a favorite in neutral site games this season.

Best bet: lay the points with Xavier.
