The Red Raiders have lost two straight and I think they'll be highly focused for this matchup. It's a huge game for Grant McCasland, the first-year Texas Tech coach who is a Baylor alum and was an assistant under Scott Drew. The Red Raiders are 3-2 versus ranked opponents thanks to a potent offense that ranks 13th in efficiency nationally. Grab the points.

This total seems to suggest that the first Big 12 meeting between Scott Drew and former Baylor assistant Grant McCasland is going to have some neutralizing effect on the offense due to familiarity. But what I see are two teams that can fill it up from 3-point range and enough dynamic perimeter players to keep the game moving even with both teams carry slower tempo ratings on the season. Both teams should also welcome a more free-flowing game after tough battles against more defensive minded squads (Iowa State and Cincinnati) over the weekend.
