Grand Canyon at Texas 12/15/18 - College Basketball Picks & Predictions

On Saturday, the Grand Canyon Antelopes visit Frank Erwin Center in Austin, Texas to play the Texas Longhorns. The Antelopes fell to 5-4 on the season after losing to the No. 6 ranked Nevada Wolfpack 74-66. Trey Drechsel led the Antelopes in the loss with 16 points, while Alessandro Lever scored 13. Grand Canyon trailed by just two points at the half and was within 10 points for all but a few minutes of the second half.

Kerwin Roach II leads the Longhorns in scoring, is second in rebounding and first in assists with averages of 14.3 points, 5.4 rebounds and 4.3 assists per game. The second leading scorer and leading rebounder is Dylan Osetkowski with averages of 10.6 points and 8.6 rebounds per game. Texas is shooting 41.2% from the field and 30.4% from 3-point territory.

Grand Canyon gave Nevada a run for its money and will do the same against a Texas squad that has been very inconsistent this season losing outright to two mid-major teams in Radford and VCU. The Antelopes have covered 7 of the last 10 on the road, while Texas has failed to cover 9 of its last 12 at home. Final Score Prediction, Texas Longhorns win but fall short ATS 70-67.
