Wake Forest vs Texas
Pick: Texas -5
It's been a rough ride down the homestretch for both Wake Forest and Texas. I'm not all that surprised to see the Demon Deacons struggling, as I was never especially high on them to begin with. Texas has all kinds of talent, but for whatever reason, Rick Barnes has been unable to settle on the best rotation for the Longhorns. No question that laying anything with Texas is a bit dicey considering their second half woes. But this is still a team capable of suddenly getting hit, and I believe they're worth backing for at least the one game against an even shakier opponent. I'm giving the points with Texas.
