Texas Tech vs TCU Prediction
I’m on Texas Tech here. I just don’t like the makeup of this TCU team and have a hard time thinking that they’ll be able to compete with Texas Tech in the hardest road environment in college basketball. Texas Tech more often than not has been able to beat up on bad teams at home and I think that even though this is a fairly big number, I still think that Texas Tech bags the win and cover at home here. Give me the Red Raiders.
