Big XII Basketball Play of the Day for 2/19/11: Texas

The Texas Longhorns put their undefeated Big XII record on the line today as they travel to Lincoln and take on Nebraska.

A very touch Texas team is favored by 6.5 on the road in a dangerous place.   Nebraska has been known to sneak up on highly ranked teams at home before.

Last year Texas blew out the Cornhuskers by 40.  This year again, all the trends seem to be pointing to Texas.  The Longhorns are 7-0 ATS in their last 7 road games, that's strong.  They also are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 games as a road favorite, that is an even stronger trend.

Looks like Texas should be a safe play today, and I see them pulling away in the second half. 

Take Texas and give the 6.5.  This game tips off at 1:30 pm Eastern.
