Eastern Washington was just a bucket short of a victory this past Saturday and fell 77-76 to the South Dakota State Jackrabbits.
Meanwhile, Texas Tech beat the Nicholls State Colonels 78-71 last Wednesday. Texas Tech got double-digit scores from four players: guard Pop Isaacs (24), forward Kevin Obanor (20), forward Daniel Batcho (14), and guard Lamar Washington (12). Washington hadn’t helped his team much against the Georgetown Hoyas two weeks ago, so this was a nice turnaround for him. Lamar Washington’s points were the most he has had all year.
Eastern Washington is the clear underdog, so they’re hoping it’s the size of the fight that determines this one. Those betting on them against the spread shouldn’t have high expectations for them since the squad is 1-4 ATS when expected to lose.
The Eagles are now 4-6 while the Red Raiders sit at 6-2. A pair of numbers to keep in mind before tip-off: Eastern Washington is stumbling into the contest with the 38th fewest points per game in college basketball, having accrued only 66.3 on average. Texas Tech’s defense has more to brag about, as they they rank 32nd in college basketball when it comes to points allowed per game, with only 61 on average. So the cards are definitely stacked in their favor.
