What has happened to the Texas Longhorns? \u00a0Despite their shoo-in status for the tournament they need to get back on the winning track or else they could face the spectre of being eliminated by a scrappy #14 seed. \u00a0They have lost 3 of their last 4, all surprises capped by a home loss earlier in the week to K-State. \u00a0<\/p>\n

All of the losses have been close which has exposed the fact that this is a terrible free throw shooting team. \u00a0It didn’t seem to matter when they were in the flow and killing teams but it has reared its ugly head down the stretch. \u00a0Texas has a great ATS record for the season but this funk they are in makes them hard to back right now.<\/p>\n

Baylor fans are going to see Perry Jones and LaceDariun Dunn in the League next year and wonder why they had such a stinker of a season this time around. \u00a0Still they have a chance to sneak into the field with a strong finish which could include a win over Texas Saturday night. \u00a0<\/p>\n

There will be plenty of motivation for Dunn who will be playing his last home game to prove to the world that the Bears are better than their record has shown. \u00a0Looking more closely at this team they appear to be as much a product of inflated expectations as anything else. \u00a0 \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Dunn is the only senior on the squad and they are relying on a lot of new players in prominent roles. \u00a0They have the talent to upset the Longhorns in this rematch.<\/p>\n

Free Longhorns vs Bears Pick: <\/strong>I want to back the Bears here but they haven’t given me a lot of reason to think they will win. \u00a0This looks like another tough loss putting a lot of pressure on them in the conference tournament.<\/p>\n
