Texas vs Colgate Prediction | March Madness Expert Picks
Even though Texas’ Timmy Allen is listed as day-to-day, Texas has enough depth and talent to cover that loss against Colgate. Texas has been ranked in the top 15 for the majority of the season. Led by Minnesota transfer Marcus Carr, Texas scores 77.9 points per game. That stacks up perfectly for Texas, as Colgate has one of the worst defenses in the tournament. The Longhorns should have no problem putting up points in this matchup. Even though Colgate has been a major staple in mid-major basketball lately, this Texas team is going to be way too tough for the Raiders to handle.
Our college basketball betting Texas vs Colgate prediction tonight will be Texas -13.5 hitting at BetUS.
For what it’s worth, the ESPN Matchup Predictor gives Texas a 91.8% chance to win.
