NCAAB: Thursday's 2:45 p.m. ET plays

Plays: Texas -1.5 -105 and Texas/Butler over 123.5 -105

Time: 2:45 p.m. ET

TV: CBS

Reasoning: Texas played the tougher schedule (10th in the nation) and is fourth in the country in field-goal percentage defense (36.8%). The Longhorns also set a school record for blocks (260), easily eclipsing the previous high of 206 set last season. Texas averages 7.9 bpg and Butler collects just 2.9 per contest. Still, this is a low total. Games for both teams average well over it overall, on the road and at neutral sites. The Longhorns have gone against a lower figure only six times and this is the fourth-lowest total the Bulldogs have seen. Both teams are above average in shots made and attempted, free throws and offensive boards. Texas outrebounds opponents by 11.3 per game.

Record: 314-235-11 (57.2%)
Bankroll: +266.93%
