The Texas Longhorns visit United Supermarkets Arena in Lubbock, Texas for a Big 12 battle against the No. 11 ranked Texas Tech Red Raiders. Texas improved to 16-13 overall and 8-8 in Big 12 play following an 86-69 win over Iowa State on Saturday. The Longhorns were led by Jase Febres with 26 points. The win snapped a two-game losing streak for the Longhorns.

Texas Tech improved to 24-5 overall and a Big 12 leading 12-4 following its 81-66 win over TCU. The win was the Red Raiders’ seventh straight. Jarrett Culver and Davide Moretti scored 15 points apiece as the Red Raiders remained atop the Big 12 standings with just two games remaining on the regular season schedule. Kerwin Roach II leads the Longhorns in scoring with an average of 15.0 points per game. Dylan Osetkowski leads the Longhorns in rebounds with an average of 7.6 per game. Matt Coleman III is the leader in assists with an average of 3.8 per game. Texas is shooting 44.3% from the field and 34.7% from 3-point territory.

Jarrett Culver leads the Red Raiders in scoring, rebounding and assists with averages of 17.9 points, 6.2 rebounds and 3.7 assists per game. Davide Moretti is the second leading scorer with an average of 11.3 points per game. Texas Tech is shooting 47.3% from the field and 36.2% from 3-point territory.

Texas Tech has far more talent than the short-handed Longhorns. However, Texas even without high scorer Kerwin Roach II, who is suspended, has fared well against the spread covering 4 of the last 5 overall. Head-to-head the Longhorns have covered the spread in 4 of the last 5 versus Texas Tech and the underdog (Longhorns) has covered each of the last 5 between the two. Final Score Prediction, Texas Tech Red Raiders win but fall short ATS 71-64.
