Texas Tech is the better team in this matchup with the better talent that will force Drake to turn over the ball. The Red Raiders are better on the glass and at their free throw shooting and they should be able to win and cover this game. Drake would have to have another stellar shooting game as they put up 54.3% in the field, and shot 50% at the free throw line, despite playing great defense. It will be tough to have the same success against a more talented team like the Red Raiders who didn’t have a great shooting night themselves and should perform much better in this matchup. The Red Raiders have the better talent with the best player on the court in this game, the size and athleticism so they will make it tough for Drake in this game.

Best bet: lay the points with Texas Tech.
