12:30 p.m. ET: Texas Tech Red Raiders (20-6) at Texas Longhorns (19-7)

Spread: Texas -3
Total: 126.5

The #20 Texas Longhorns host the #11 Texas Tech Red Raiders after Andrew Jones scored 20 points in Texas’ 80-78 overtime victory against the Oklahoma Sooners. The Longhorns are 15-1 in home games. Texas averages 68.9 points and has outscored opponents by an average of 11.3 points per game. The Red Raiders are 9-4 in Big 12 play. These teams meet for the 2nd time in conference play this season after the Red Raiders won 77-64 in the first matchup on Feb. 2. Kevin McCullar led the Red Raiders with 19 points, and Marcus Carr led the Longhorns with 18 points. McCullar could miss this game for Texas Tech as he is listed as questionable at this time. Texas Tech comes into this game after a dominant home win, and Texas is motivated for revenge and has an above-average home court of its own in Austin. The Red Raiders have struggled on the road this season, losing 5 of their last 7 games, and will be facing a Texas team that forces a lot of turnovers and locks down opponents at home. Texas should win this game if McCullers plays or not but without him, Texas will cover the spread easily. 

Trends

• The Under is 6-1 in Red Raiders’ last 7 road games vs. a team with a winning home record.
• The Under is 4-1 in Longhorns’ last 5 games as a home favorite.
