Arkansas-Pine Bluff @ No. 17 Texas

Current Records: Arkansas-Pine Bluff 1-10; Texas 6-2

What to Know

The #17 Texas Longhorns will look to defend their home court on Tuesday against the Arkansas-Pine Bluff Golden Lions at 9 p.m. ET. The Longhorns are out to keep their six-game home win streak alive.

Texas was close but no cigar last Thursday as they fell 64-60 to the Seton Hall Pirates. Guard Marcus Carr wasn't much of a difference maker for Texas; Carr finished with ten points on 5-for-14 shooting in his 36 minutes on the court.

Meanwhile, the matchup between Arkansas-Pine Bluff and the Arkansas State Red Wolves last week was not a total blowout, but with Arkansas-Pine Bluff falling 84-73 at home, it was darn close to turning into one.

Texas is the favorite in this one, with an expected 35.5-point (!) margin of victory. They have been consistent moneymakers against the spread when favored (4-2), so they might be worth a quick bet.

The losses put the Longhorns at 6-2 and the Golden Lions at 1-10. Two defensive stats to keep in the back of your head while watching: Texas comes into the game boasting the eighth fewest points allowed per game in college basketball at 56.4. Less enviably, Arkansas-Pine Bluff has allowed their opponents to shoot 51.50% from the floor on average, which is the 357th highest shooting percentage allowed in college basketball. So the cards are definitely stacked against Arkansas-Pine Bluff.
