Texas Tech vs Oklahoma State Prediction 

Texas Tech comes into this matchup after winning eight of their last nine games and they are ranked #12 in the country, but they will be on the road for this game. The Red Raiders are shooting 48.2% from the field this year, but they have allowed at least 81 points in three of their last four games. Oklahoma State has alternated wins and losses over their last five games, but they are shooting just 42.9% from the field this year. The Cowboys haven’t had a ton of luck in conference play, but they are 3-1 in their last four home games. I think Oklahoma State will put up a fight in the first half, but this Texas Tech team is too good and will run away in the second half.
