Before making any Texas Tech vs. Kansas picks, you NEED to check out the college basketball predictions from the SportsLine Projection Model.

The SportsLine Projection Model simulates every Division I college basketball game 10,000 times. Over the past five-plus years, the proprietary computer model has generated an impressive profit of almost $2,200 for $100 players on its top-rated college basketball picks against the spread. Anyone who has followed it has seen HUGE returns.

The model knows that Kansas' Ochai Agbaji has been playing like an All-American. The 6-foot-5 senior guard from Kansas City, Mo., ranks second in the Big 12 and 17th in the country in scoring (20.2 points per game). He also leads the Big 12 in 3-point field goals made per game (2.9) and is second in 3-point field goal percentage (45.1). For his efforts this season he was named to the Wooden Award Midseason Top 25 Watch List on Wednesday.

The model also knows that Texas Tech is more battle-tested than Kansas. The Red Raiders already have played two ranked teams this season (No. 5 Gonzaga and No. 11 Iowa State). They also knocked off Tennessee, now ranked No. 18, in overtime at Knoxville. Meanwhile Kansas has yet to face a ranked team this season.
