Alabama vs Texas Prediction & Picks - NCAA Men

Prediction published on 2/11/25, 12:24 PM  by Travis Pulver | Modified on 2/11/25 at 12:29 PM in NCAA Men Picks

The Texas Longhorns will try to get back on the right side of the scoreboard when they host the No. 2 Alabama Crimson Tide tonight at the Moody Center in Austin, TX. Tipoff is scheduled for 9 p.m. ET, and the game will be broadcast on ESPN.

Texas got off to a solid start this year, going 11-2 in nonconference play, but then things got tough once the SEC part of their schedule got underway. Seven of their first eight games were against ranked teams. They ended up dropping five of them, the last on Jan. 29 vs. then-No. 23 Ole Miss. They bounced back from that defeat with a dominant 89-58 win over LSU but have lost their last two (vs. Arkansas and Vanderbilt). The road doesn’t get much easier with No. 15 Kentucky on deck for this Saturday. Alabama, on the other hand, has been on a roll. The Tide enter tonight’s contest riding a six-game winning streak, including wins over No. 8 Kentucky and No.14 Mississippi State. While Alabama does not have a strong defensive team, the Tide have the No. 1 scoring offense in the country (90 points per game.
