First, we have the Texas Tech vs Houston Betting prediction for the Red Raiders.

The Mean Green shoots 45.5 percent of the time (126th) and makes 36.3% of its shots from beyond the arc (59th). They score 75.9 points per game, which ranks 113th.

Each game, TTU gets 2.6 blocks, which is 286th, 6.2 steals, which is 204th, and 14.8 fouls, which is 26th.

KenPom says that Texas Tech is the 23rd best school in the country. These rankings show that the Red Raiders are 25th in offensive efficiency, 39th in defensive efficiency, and 241st in pace (adjusted for missed games).

Houston Cougars Betting Prediction

Now we have the Texas Tech vs Houston Betting prediction for the Cougars.

Texas Tech vs Houston Betting Pick

Texas Tech was no match for Houston in their only game this season. In both halves, Houston held the Red Raiders to less than 30 points. TTU only made 36.7% of its shots, lost 38-28 on rebounds, and turned the ball over eight times more than UH. Houston beat Texas Tech 40–8 in the paint, making them the better team inside.

After all that, the Red Raiders had a great game against BYU. The Cougars missed 7 out of 35 three-point shots, even though they try the most threes per game in the country. TTU won the first half 42–23 and held off the Cougars’ desperate attempt to come back after the break. The Red Raiders’ offense worked well; they shot 49.1% overall and 9/19 (47.4%) from three-point range.

That play will carry over into their game on Friday against the top-seeded Cougars. I’m sure that Texas Tech will use the shame of their earlier loss to Houston as fuel. They shoot threes better than they did in that road loss, and they’re very dangerous when they get to the free throw line a lot (18th in FT%). It’s not as hard to beat Houston straight up as it is to cover the spread. I think the Red Raiders will play hard enough to keep the score tighter than most people think it will be.

• Texas Tech vs Houston Betting Pick: Red Raiders to cover.
