The Horned Frogs bring it strong every night except when they're on the road. They've lost their last three true road games. Texas Tech has gone 11-1 at home, but is just 3-8-1 ATS there -- quite odd when its average home score is 73-52 and allow just 32 percent shooting from the field. The Red Raiders win and cover Monday like they have the last four meetings with TCU.

An acknowledged low number should be even lower. Both teams might have to settle for two-point baskets, given the creditable three-point defense each displays — TCU 28 percent, Tech 26 percent. The Horned Frogs’ last three games have squeezed out 103, 126 and 105. As for the Red Raiders, before collaborating with up-tempo Arkansas on Saturday for 131, they rolled out a 103. TCU has been 5-1 Under in its last half-dozen games, Tech 4-1 in its previous five at home. The 130.5 here looks like a ceiling.
