Arizona State vs Texas Tech Prediction 

Texas Tech comes into this matchup as one of the better teams in the Big 12 so far this season and they will be at home for this game, but they are coming off of a loss to Arizona. The Red Raiders are shooting 47.7% from the field this year and they have scored 73+ points in three straight games. Arizona State has lost three games in a row and they are shooting just 43.3% from the field this year. The Sun Devils have allowed 81 points or more in two of their last three games, so they have struggled on both ends of the court. I do think Texas Tech wins this game rather easily, but this is a lot of points to cover against a team that hasn’t lost by 16 points in nine games. Take the points with ASU here.
