This is an 8* on IOWA STATE

Texas Tech has seemingly put a three-game losing streak behind them. The Red Raiders have gone 2-0 over the last five days, beating Texas 68-59 and TCU 69-49. They covered the spread in both of those wins and now are ranked #18 in the country. They’ve got a big game on deck, at Baylor on Sunday. But first they’ve got to round out the home portion of the schedule as Iowa State pays a visit to Lubbock tonight. It has been a tough year for the team from Ames. They have not won a single Big 12 game all season (0-16!) and haven’t tasted victory since before Christmas. But they’ve been close many times. They only lost by five at Baylor on Feb 23 and then by four against TCU on Saturday. A game vs. Texas on Tuesday was a 14-point loss. Since the beginning of February, half of the Cyclones' losses have been by seven points or fewer. So they are competing. We expect them to compete tonight in what should be a “flat spot” for a Texas Tech team that’s only 5-10 ATS in Big 12 games. Play on IOWA STATE
