DePaul vs Texas Tech Prediction 

DePaul comes into this matchup with an undefeated record on the season, but this will be the first decent team they have played. Texas Tech has also played an easier schedule, but they do have a decent win against Syracuse and a bad loss against St. Joe’s. Both teams are shooting over 50% from the field and are scoring about 88 points per game, but that has a lot to do with the level of competition they have played. I do think Texas Tech will win this game rather easily, but this feels like a lot of points for two teams that have hardly been tested. Take DePaul here.
