In Monday’s game against Baylor, Disu was helped off the court with what ESPN’s Kris Budden described as an ankle injury with 10:50 remaining in the second half. But it was actually a sprained left knee, and he remains questionable for Saturday’s contest.
Disu is the second-best scorer for Texas, averaging 16.1 points per game. He adds an average of 4.8 rebounds, 1.7 assists, 1.2 steals and 1.1 blocks. Disu does a little bit of everything for the Longhorns and helped them pick up the 75-60 victory over Oklahoma earlier this season. He finished that game with a double-double with 19 points and 10 boards, while adding four assists.
Right now at DraftKings Sportsbook, the Longhorns are listed as a 5.5-point favorite. The line opened with Texas as a 4.5-point favorite. The total sits at 143.5.
