9:00 p.m. ET: Baylor Bears (21-4) at Texas Tech Red Raiders (19-6)

Spread: Texas Tech -2
Total: 136

The #7 Baylor Bears face the #11 Texas Tech Red Raiders after Adam Flagler scored 20 points in Baylor’s 80-63 victory over the Texas Longhorns. However, they lost Tchatchoua for the season with a knee injury. The Red Raiders have gone 15-0 in home games. The Bears are 9-3 in conference matchups. These teams play for the 2nd time this season in Big 12 play after the Red Raiders won the last meeting 65-62 on Jan. 12. With Baylor being without Cryer and Tchatchoua they will have a hard time on the offensive end against this stringy Texas Tech defense. If Baylor isn’t knocking down threes they are going to have a hard time scoring in the paint and without their best guard and big man, this will be a tough battle. When 2 ranked teams face-off, the favorite is 57% ATS this season. Texas Tech is perfect at home this season and should be able to pull off another big win over the Baylor Bears. Take the Red Raiders to get the job done at home. 

Trends

• The Road team is 4-1 ATS in the last 5 meetings.
