Oral Roberts vs. Texas Tech Prediction
I’m on Texas Tech here. Oral Roberts has some serious defensive issues and has been blown out in a lot of step-up spots this season. On the flipside, Texas Tech’s only real struggles have come against the better teams, but the Red Raiders have slapped around a lot of bad teams this season and I think Oral Roberts is next on the hit list. Give me the Red Raiders here.
