What to Know
After two games on the road, the Texas Tech Red Raiders are heading back home. Texas Tech and the #21 Baylor Bears will face off in a Big 12 battle at 9 p.m. ET Tuesday at United Supermarkets Arena. The Bears will be strutting in after a victory while Texas Tech will be stumbling in from a defeat.
It was close but no cigar for the Red Raiders as they fell 72-70 to the Texas Longhorns this past Saturday. Texas Tech’s loss came about despite a quality game from guard Pop Isaacs, who shot 5-for-9 from downtown and finished with 23 points.
Meanwhile, the Oklahoma State Cowboys typically have all the answers at home, but this past Saturday Baylor proved too difficult a challenge. Baylor strolled past Oklahoma State with points to spare, taking the contest 74-58. Four players on the Bears scored in the double digits: guard LJ Cryer (16), forward Flo Thamba (12), forward Jalen Bridges (12), and guard Adam Flagler (11).
Barring any buzzer beaters, the Red Raiders are expected to win a tight contest. Their home court has been no bettor’s paradise, though, as they’ve failed to beat the spread in seven of their ten home games.
Texas Tech is now 10-7 while Baylor sits at 12-5. A pair of offensive stats to keep an eye on: Texas Tech comes into the game boasting the 33rd highest field goal percentage in college basketball at 48%. Baylor has displayed some offensive firepower of their own as they rank 28th in college basketball when it comes to points per game, with 80.6 on average.
