Florida

Gators (12-2-21-6) VS Longhorns (8-6-17-10)

February 25, 2026 | 7:00 PM ET | Moody Center, Austin, Texas

Texas
Moneyline Pick - Florida (-333): B
Florida’s seven-game winning streak, powered by one of the nation’s stingiest defenses and a frontcourt trio of Alex Condon, Thomas Haugh and Rueben Chinyelu, makes the Gators a justifiable road favorite over a Texas team that just had its five-game surge snapped and continues to wrestle with defensive lapses, and with both sides near full strength plus Condon’s prior double-double in last year’s blowout win over the Longhorns and clear NCAA seeding upside on Florida’s side, backing the defending champs on the -333 moneyline grades out as a solid but juice-heavy B-level play.

Over/Under Pick - Over 158.5, (-120): B-
Texas guard Dailyn Swain and the Longhorns’ elite offensive efficiency, combined with Florida’s preference to push tempo and its recent run of 80-plus point outings, point toward a track meet where Texas’ porous defense and the Gators’ depth of shot creators can keep the scoreboard moving for 40 minutes, and even though their last meeting stayed below this number, Texas is far more dangerous on offense now while both teams are largely healthy and chasing résumé-boosting style points, making Over 158.5 at -120 a high-variance but enticing B- play. Odds and availability are subject to change. This bet was made at 25/02/2026 09:03
Spread Pick - Texas, +6.5 (-120): B
Alex Condon’s interior presence and Florida’s championship pedigree still make the Gators the likelier outright winner, but Texas’ home-court edge at Moody Center, an explosive attack built around Swain, Matas Vokietaitis and Jordan Pope, and the Longhorns’ urgency to solidify their NCAA Tournament position against a Florida team that can be turnover-prone and foul-happy on the road all suggest a tight contest, so grabbing Texas +6.5 at -120 earns a B-grade as a smart way to capture their upset potential while staying protected in what profiles as a single-digit game. Odds and availability are subject to change. This bet was made at 25/02/2026 09:03
