Even with JT Toppin sidelined, the Red Raiders have still been elite. They have won three straight since his injury, including a big win over top ranked ISU. The Red Raiders' offense remains electric, having reached the 80-point mark in every game since Toppin went down.
TCU has a 19-10 record and is 9-7 in the Big 12. They are on the bubble, making a push to be the last four in.
The Horned Frogs enter this matchup having won four of their last five games, playing their best basketball of the season. TCU is getting hot at the perfect time. A win against Texas Tech can all but guarantee that they will be dancing in a few weeks.
Texas Tech vs TCU will be two teams playing great basketball. Texas Tech is fighting to remain a double bye team in the conference tournament, and TCU is fighting to reach March Madness. We think the key to this game will be pace. If the Red Raiders turn this game into a shootout, it'll be hard for TCU to go blow for blow. We think Texas Tech will cover and take the points. Our pick is Texas Tech ATS(-9.5).
