Why Texas Tech can cover

Texas Tech brings a four-game winning streak into this contest after notching a 64-54 win over Oklahoma State on Sunday. The Red Raiders went on a 12-5 run over the final 4:22 of regulation, as Chance McMillian finished with 14 points. He is the team’s second-leading scorer this season, averaging 14.9 points per game. 

Sophomore forward JT Toppin leads the way with 16.3 points and 8.5 rebounds per game, finishing with 20 points and 16 rebounds in a win over Arizona earlier this month. Junior forward Darrion Williams is also scoring in double figures, averaging 14.7 points, 5.4 rebounds and 4.4 assists. Texas Tech is 11-2 in its last 13 home games, while TCU is 1-4 in its last five road games. See which team to pick here. 

Why TCU can cover

While the Red Raiders are riding a four-game hot streak, they have only scored 70 points once during that stretch. They will need a significantly better offensive output on Wednesday night to cover a spread of this size. TCU is coming off a rough offensive performance against UCF on Saturday, but it stayed within 15 points in a loss to Kansas last Wednesday. 

Senior guard Noah Reynolds leads TCU with 12.3 points, 3.3 assists and 2.4 rebounds per game, followed by sophomore guard Vasean Allette (11.8 ppg). Senior guard Frankie Collins is adding 11.2 points, 4.4 assists and 4.4 rebounds per game. The Horned Frogs have won and covered the spread in four of the last five meetings between these teams.
