Oral Roberts vs Texas Tech Prediction

The Oral Roberts Golden Eagles just don’t have the offensive horses to compete in a spot like this, and they’ve failed to cover 4 of their last 5 games as the competition improves. The Texas Tech Red Raiders are one of the more balanced teams in the country and should be able to do whatever it wants at both ends of the floor. Texas Tech is a team to watch moving forward, as the ability is there to make some noise. Thick number, but I like what I’m seeing from the Red Raiders. I’ll lay the chalk with the home team.
