It’s clear Xavier struggles defensively, this can be the competitive advantage that helps Texas. With names like Tre Johnson and Arthur Kaluma, Texas is certain to make their case for the Field of 64 on Wednesday. It will be a close one, perhaps overtime. For now, I'll trust analytics, Longhorns by 3. Could be a late-push from the freshman star Tre Johnson himself.
Final Score: Texas 75, Xavier 72
