Allen Fieldhouse remains one of the toughest venues to enter in college basketball. And on Saturday night, the Texas Longhorns face that daunting task with the College Basketball lines. Following a great March Madness run in 2023, Texas is on the bubble. Head coach Rodney Terry is not getting the same production as the head coach that he did in the interim. His whining about Horns Down gestures is symbolic of a soft program. Although Kansas is not showing good recent value, they remain tough to beat at home. KU has recent power home wins over Baylor and Houston.

Texas at Kansas SBG Free Picks
Kansas got the money only twice in its last eight meetings with Texas. Three of the last four games between the Jayhawks and Longhorns went under the College basketball lines. However, KU got the money in two of its last three home games against the Longhorns. Two of those three games went under the total. In this situation, Kansas will not be as expensive as normal as the home chalk. Cause of the name-brand status of Texas.
