Our Texas vs Xavier Musketeers Prediction
While Texas is fortunate to even make the NCAA tournament field given their lackluster record, this is seemingly where their luck runs out. Before winning a handful of games in the SEC tournament, Texas limped to the finish. They have not been consistent at all this season while Xavier has been competitive in the Big East all season.
The Musketeers and Longhorns average about 78 points per game but Xavier has a slightly better defense, allowing about 70 points per game compared to Texas, who allows 72 points per game.
