Preview
Texas Tech had their 9-game winning streak snapped in a tough road matchup against Houston last week, before bouncing back with a ranked win over BYU. The victory marked their first win against a team that is currently ranked this season. They have an opportunity to pick up their second in this game against Oklahoma, but face another difficult test on the road. Texas Tech’s torrid defense has been their top asset.
Oklahoma lost badly at home against Texas on Tuesday. It was their third straight loss against a ranked team, creating some cause for concern. The Sooners have no ranked wins this season and have gone 2-3 in their last five games. Despite that, they remain ranked #11 and safely in the projected tournament field, with many more opportunities to pick up ranked wins. This matchup will be a crucial test for Oklahoma.
Prediction
Texas Tech currently sits atop the Big-12, surprising many with their early season success. They’ll continue to face a gauntlet in conference play, starting with this game against an Oklahoma team that desperately needs a win. I see these teams matching up pretty evenly, with the Sooners pulling away to win it at home.
NCAAB Picks:
- Oklahoma 71, Texas Tech 65 ()
