The underdog has covered the spread between these two teams in 5 of the last 7 matchups, and I think we see similar results here. Texas Tech has a chance to win the Big 12 regular season crown with a win here, and they are one of the hottest teams in the country. Texas Tech is not only putting together amazing defensive outings, but they have been fabulous on the offensive end too. Marial Shayok is questionable for the Cyclones, but regardless I still can’t trust a team who lost to West Virginia. Texas Tech wins and covers, 71-68.
