"Overcoming injuries, the 'Horns finished the regular season on a high note, draining 36.2 percent from three while holding opponents to 0.93 points per possession in their last six games," Evans told SportsLine. "Covering in five of their last six, they're a smart wager in what should be a hotly-contested game."
