Houston vs Texas Tech Red Raiders Prediction & Picks - NCAA Men
by Bill Christy | in NCAA Men Picks
We are treated to a battle of Top 10 teams this Monday evening when #5 Houston (23-4) visit #9 Texas Tech (21-6). This will be the 2nd regular season matchup between the teams. Texas Tech is coming off a dominant 73-51 win over West Virginia which was needed after losing on the road to unranked TCU the game prior. The Red Raiders are averaging over 81ppg which ranks them in the top 30 in the country. Their offense will be tested in this game. The Cougars boast a defense that ranks 3rd in the country in KenPom’s adjusted defensive efficiency. They will look to frustrate Texas Tech and hold them below that 81ppg average. The Cougars offense is now slouch either. They are ranked 7th in KenPom’s rankings and have putting up just over 75ppg on the season. They are currently on a 6-game winning streak and have won 19 of their last 20 games. Their lone loss came to Texas Tech team back in early February. In that 82-81 loss, the Cougars shot an abysmal 35.7% from long range, which was much lower than their 40% on the season. If the Cougars are going to exact revenge tonight, it will need to come with better long-range shooting.Limited Offer. Currently at DraftKings

Our Houston vs Texas Tech Red Raiders Prediction
=14.0ptHouston will be eager to get revenge on the Raiders here on the road. However, that will be easier said than done. The Red Raiders have lost just 3 home games all season. While the previous matchup ended with 163 total points scored, the oddsmakers have set this total much lower. That leads us to believe that this contest will be played tightly with emphasis being on the defensive end for both teams.
=14.0ptOur prediction for Texas Tech Red Raiders vs Houston Cougars:=14.0pt UNDER 131.5
