Texas Tech can play elite defense and you don't lose that ability without playing. Offensively, that could be another story and it may take some time in this game to shake off some rust from not having played in nine days. In their loss to Baylor, they held the fourth-best scoring offense to only 68 points in a game. The Mountaineers have shown some defensive ability this season, especially when the game is being played on their home court. Texas Tech doesn't shoot the three well either so that will allow the Mountaineers to crank up the defense.

Play on the UNDER.
