Saint Joseph vs. Texas Prediction
I’m here. I think this will be an interesting matchup and I think the Texans will be able to get whatever they want inside against the Hawks defense. But the Hawks were also shooting a ton of threes, and the Texas defense wasn’t the best at protecting the perimeter. I think this will be a sports day, so please come here.
