Texas vs Tennessee Picks & Prediction

Call it the Rick Barnes bowl as the Tennessee head coach sees his former team, Texas in the second round on Saturday.

The Volunteers were one of the few SEC teams to escape the first round in an easy 83-49 rout of Saint Peter's.

Texas fell short of expectations from last season's run to the Elite Eight, but the Longhorns are still alive after beating Colorado State, 56-44. UT limited the Rams 11 first half points and 29% shooting from the floor.

In the last nine opportunities as an underdog, the Longhorns have posted a 5-3-1 ATS mark, including four outright wins.

The Vols are 0-6 ATS in their last six tournament games as a single-digit favorite. Look for the Horns to hang around in this one, or even pick up the win.

Pick: Texas +6.5 (-110)
