What to Know
The Texas Tech Red Raiders have enjoyed the comforts of home their last two games, but now they must head out on the road. Texas Tech and the #18 TCU Horned Frogs will face off in a Big 12 battle at noon ET Saturday at Ed & Rae Schollmaier Arena. The teams split their matchups last year, with the Red Raiders winning the first 82-69 at home and TCU taking the second 69-66.
Texas Tech took their matchup at home on Tuesday with ease, bagging a 110-71 win over the South Carolina State Bulldogs. It was another big night for Texas Tech’s forward Kevin Obanor, who shot 5-for-8 from beyond the arc and finished with 24 points and nine rebounds.
Meanwhile, the Cent. Arkansas Bears typically have all the answers at home, but on Wednesday TCU proved too difficult a challenge. The Horned Frogs couldn’t have asked for better way to wrap up 2022 than the 103-57 stomp they got at home against the Bears. TCU’s success was the result of a balanced attack that saw several players step up, but forward Emanuel Miller led the charge as he dropped a double-double on 20 points and ten boards.
The Red Raiders are expected to lose this next one by 4.5. They are currently three-for-three against the spread in their most recent games, however, a trend bettors might want to take into account.
Their wins bumped Texas Tech to 10-2 and TCU to 11-1. Both Texas Tech and the Horned Frogs have easy wins in recent memory. We’ll see which one’s ego takes a hit when they face off.
