Texas Tech Red Raiders vs Oklahoma State Cowboys prediction
The Texas Tech Red Raiders are obviously the better team playing the better basketball, and they beat OK State by 17 points back in January. It’s not crazy to consider the small number with the Red Raiders. With all that said, the Oklahoma State Cowboys have seen 10 of their 12 wins this season come at home, and this is their last home game with 6 seniors on their roster. There’s motivation for Oklahoma State to get up for this contest and stop the bleeding before the Big 12 Tournament. Texas Tech is 3-6 SU on the road and 12-16-1 ATS on the season. Winnable game for Oklahoma State. I’ll grab the bucket.
