T.M. Selection: Texas Tech.

Yesterday I was on Arizona as they were playing with revenge and were off a loss and the Wildcats got the job done for us to improve to 7-1 L8 times when coming off a loss. Now the roles are reversed today and I go against the Wildcats! That's because the Red Raiders are the ones playing with revenge here. I know Texas Tech is off a tight win over Baylor but they never trailed in that game and led by as many as 15 points and holding on for a character-building tourney win will only serve the Red Raiders even better here in this spot! The Red Raiders did beat the Wildcats in Lubbock earlier in the season but then they lost at Arizona despite having 70 FG attempts compared to just 58 for the Cats. Texas Tech made only 14 of 37 two-pointers and will shoot much better here as they get their revenge. Truly this is a bargain price for the money line on the Red Raiders in this one. Lay it!

T.M. Prediction: 81-72 Texas Tech
