Baylor vs. Texas Tech Prediction
I’m on Texas Tech here. I get that the win over Houston could put Texas Tech in position for a bit of a letdown spot here, but in all honesty, Baylor is in a letdown spot as well after scoring 60 points in the second half to rally to beat Kansas, and now you have to head on the road to a tough road environment in Lubbock, one of the toughest in the country as a matter of fact, with a team that runs a short rotation against a loaded Red Raiders team that has confidence after winning in Houston, a rare feat. I think that Baylor’s in a tough spot here and I think Texas Tech takes advantage. Give me the Red Raiders here.
