Louisiana Ragin' Cajuns vs. Texas Longhorns: Betting Odds
Marcus Carr is the catalyst for the Texas Longhorns' early season success, leading the Longhorns in points, assists, and steals. Carr takes over games in the waning moments.
Timmy Allen chips in with nine points per night while leading the Longhorns in rebounding and shooting a robust 47% from the floor.
Texas guard Tyrese Hunter has developed into one of the better shooters in College Basketball. Hunter contributes 12 points per night to the offense shooting 46% from the field, 75% from the stripe, and 33% from deep.
Louisiana is one of the most physical teams in the country. The Ragin' Cajuns will not be intimidated by the Longhorn athletes.
Forward Jordan Brown leads the team in scoring, with 19 points per game, while leading the team in blocked shots.
Terence Lewis II epitomizes the Louisiana physicality with 14 points and nine rebounds per night. Despite his physicality, Lewis has quick hands and leads the Ragin Cajuns in steals.
Guard Themus Fulks averages eight points per game while leading the team in assists. The issue with Fulks is that he commits three turnovers per game and only shoots 58% from the stripe. Fulks is a talented player, but his deficiencies could cost Louisiana in a tight contest.
