Houston Christian Huskies vs. Texas Longhorns Best Picks and Prediction
The Houston Christian Huskies are a decent team offensively and should be able to keep the game relatively close in terms of putting the ball in the basket. The Huskies team drove to the basket and forced the referee's hands to blow the whistle. Long had a great offensive game and forward Sam Hofman had a good rebounding game with 10 in the opener. They should be able to easily cover the spread and keep it close.
