Bethune-Cookman at Texas Tech 11/9/19 - NCAA Basketball Picks & Predictions

The Bethune-Cookman Wildcats are set to visit United Supermarkets Arena in Lubbock, Texas for a non-conference clash against the Texas Tech Red Raiders. The Bethune-Cookman Wildcats come into this matchup with a 1-0 record, and they will be looking to continue their success after winning their recent home game against Johnson University, 110-68. Leading the way for the Bethune-Cookman Wildcats was senior guard Isaiah Bailey as he recorded 24 points, 7 rebounds, and 6 assists. Senior forward Cletrell Pope had a big game in the frontcourt for the Wildcats as he contributed 22 points and 19 rebounds.

The Bethune-Cookman Wildcats had a good shooting game against Johnson University as they connected on 43 of their 85 field goal attempts (50.6%), but they struggled from behind the three-point line (39.1%). The Bethune-Cookman Wildcats lost the turnover battle against Johnson University (21-19), but they dominated them in the rebounding department (64-36).

The Texas Tech Red Raiders come into this matchup with a 1-0 record, and they will be looking to continue their success after winning their recent home game against the Eastern Illinois Panthers, 85-60. Leading the way for the Texas Tech Red Raiders was freshman guard Jahmi’us Ramsey as he recorded 19 points and 5 rebounds. Senior forward TJ Holyfield had a good game in the frontcourt for the Red Raiders as he contributed 15 points and 6 rebounds.

The Texas Tech Red Raiders had a good shooting game against the Eastern Illinois Panthers as they connected on 32 of their 58 field goal attempts (55.2%), and they were good from behind the three-point line (53.3%). The Texas Tech Red Raiders won the turnover battle against the Eastern Illinois Panthers (15-13), and they edged out the Panthers in the rebounding department (40-30).

The Texas Tech Red Raiders had to replace a ton of production from their NCAA Championship finalist team last season, but they broke in their young talent with a 25-point win over Eastern Illinois in the season opener. Bethune-Cookman may look like they are capable of covering the spread against Texas Tech after dropping 110 points on a D2 team, but Texas Tech is a whole new breed and they will fluster the Wildcats on the defensive side of the court. I expect Chris Beard to get his young guard Jahmi’us Ramsey going again as he dropped 19 points against Eastern Illinois, and I expect him to have success at home. Final Score Prediction, Texas Tech Red Raiders win and cover ATS 79-46.
