The defensive excellence of both Texas Tech and Texas, and the Longhorns' extremely slow pace (No. 345 in adjusted tempo, per KenPom) produces this appropriately low total, but I'm going over with the expectation that this huge rivalry game produces an uptick in tempo and scoring from both teams. The environment should be excellent, much like the first meeting in Lubbock, and like that 77-64 result I think this final score exceeds 127.

This is one of Texas’ biggest home games of the regular season after having already lost on the road at Tech earlier this season. Longhorns fans will look to duplicate or better the environment Tech fans created for the Red Raiders’ 77-64 win over Texas back on Feb. 1. Texas Tech is coming off a big win over Baylor, while Texas has had this game circled on its calendar for a long time. Back the home team covering two possessions.
