Texas Tech has been playing great all year and won the Big 12 on the season. The Raiders, though, will have to face a scrappy Northern Kentucky team.

However, the Red Raiders are a team that should be able to bounce back nicely from the loss.

The Red Raiders have been able to get a total of 14 assist a game, but have ended up getting a total of 34.3 boards a game.
Northern Kentucky was able to win not only the regular season championship in the Horizon, but also pulled off the conference tournament as well. The downside is the Norse are also a team that did have some hiccups during the season, but always seemed to play up to the level of competition they were facing and that could be the case in this game here.

During the regular season the Norse were able to score only 79.1 points a game, but the defense would give up 68.8 points a game. When it came to passing the ball the Norse were able to get 17.1 assist a game, but the Norse were able to pull down 37 boards a game.
