Tuesday, February 21, 2024 at United Supermarkets Arena in Lubbock, Texas.

TCU’s Recent Form and Strengths

Texas Tech’s Recent Success

But the Red Raiders have been too hot to bet against recently. They’ve won six of their last seven games, including a dominant 82-73 win over No. 4 Iowa State as a 9.5-point underdog.

Predictions and Picks

Prediction: Texas Tech 79, TCU 66. Moneyline PASS. Against the spread LEAN TEXAS TECH -9.5 (-110).

Over/Under BET UNDER 148.5 (-115). The Horned Frogs have scored 71 or fewer points in three of their last four games and six of their last nine overall, hitting the Under in three of their last four.

Texas Tech’s Recent Trend

They are 6-1 ATS over their last seven games, covering twice as double-digit favorites in that span. They’ve also covered each of their last three home games.

TCU’s Defensive Strengths

The Red Raiders have hit the Under in five of their last eight games. They’ve scored 78 or fewer points in five of their last eight, while allowing 73 or fewer in seven of their last eight overall.

You might think this is an easy pick, but… Texas Tech has been too strong lately to bet against.

TCU’s recent resurgence doesn’t change the fact that they’re up against a top-10 team with a winning record and a dominant home-court advantage. The Under looks like a safer play given both teams’ scoring trends.
