Arkansas-Pine Bluff Vs. Texas Tech Prediction
I’m on Texas Tech here. Normally I’m not about laying big numbers with teams just because, but Texas Tech is a team that has a lot of high-powered balance. They’re great on the defensive end and electric on offense. Arkansas-Pine Bluff hasn’t really been able to slow down anyone they’ve gone up against so far this season and I don’t expect that to start here. Give me Texas Tech.
