Texas Form

The Longhorns lost some steam in the second half of the regular season as they went 4-4 over their final eight games.
They snapped a two-game losing sequence as they beat #3 Kansas in their regular season finale, 75-59, and they backed that up in the Big 12 tournament.
Texas ousted Oklahoma State 61-47 in their first outing, before battling past #22 TCU, 66-60 in the semi-finals.

Verdict
Texas come into March Madness on the back of an excellent conference championship tournament.
The Longhorns are backed to keep that running by avoiding an upset here, but they have been unreliable as a 10+ point favorite recently so we fancy Colgate with the points.
