While not quite a landslide, the contest between Texas Tech and the Georgetown Hoyas last Wednesday was still a pretty decisive one as Texas Tech wrapped it up with a 79-65 win at home. Five players on Texas Tech scored in the double digits: guard De’Vion Harmon (18), guard Jaylon Tyson (18), forward Daniel Batcho (15), forward Kevin Obanor (11), and guard Pop Isaacs (10).
Meanwhile, Nicholls State took their matchup at home last week with ease, bagging a 115-50 victory over the Champion Christian Tigers.
Texas Tech is the favorite in this one, with an expected 20.5-point margin of victory. But bettors beware: they are only 2-4 against the spread when favored.
The Red Raiders are now 5-2 while the Colonels sit at 3-4. Texas Tech is 2-2 after wins this season, Nicholls State 1-1.
