Texas Tech vs Wyoming Prediction
Both of these teams come into this matchup after starting the season with two straight wins, but Texas Tech will have the home-court advantage here. The Red Raiders have cruised to two easy wins to open the season and their defense has been very strong. Wyoming has scored over 94 points per game through two games and they are shooting over 53% from the field, but that has a lot to do with their level of competition in those games. This Texas Tech defense is going to give Wyoming issues all night and I like the under here.
