Texas vs. Colgate
Leg 1 - Over 149.5 (-115)
Both teams rank in the top 50 in Kenpom's offensive efficiency metric and Texas loves to push the pace, ranking in the top 60 in possessions per game. Colgate is absolutely lethal from the field, ranking first in the country in 3PT% and 8th in the country at 2PT%, so I expect them to be able to put up points. On the flip side, Colgate's defense ranks 231st in Kenpom and has not faced a team close to the caliber of what Texas has to offer. The Longhorns should be able to score however they want, whenever they want, and Colgate will put up enough points of their own in a trailing game script to push this game over the point total.
Leg 2 - Oliver Lynch-Daniels 3+ 3PM (+235)
Almost everyone on the Raiders shoots the 3 ball at a great percentage, but Lynch-Daniels trumps them all with an insane 50.3% mark from deep. He averages 5 attempts per game, and I expect that number to be elevated to try to keep pace with Texas. I expect him to get off as many shots as he can, so I like him to knock down at least three 3's in this game.
Leg 3 - Sir'Jabari Rice over 14.5 points (-130)
This leg of the parlay is a pick your poison approach, as all of the Longhorns should have a significant edge over their defenders. I chose to go with Rice, who has a slight discount on his price compared to his backcourt mate Marcus Carr, and who has really been playing well down the stretch. He has eclipsed this total in 6 of his last 8 games, with multiple 20 point outbursts. Rice should have his way with the guards of Colgate and be able to name his number.
