Oklahoma vs Texas Tech Prediction

Oklahoma has not been playing well in their recent games losing 3 straight games and 6 of their last 7 games. They have lost their last 4 games on the road and they have not been close in most of their games on the road against conference opponents this season. They have been awful on the road this season with a 2-7 record and they are only 4-10 against conference opponents as well. Texas Tech has been having a great season with a 10-4 record against conference opponents and they are unbeaten at home this season with a 16-0 record there. Texas Tech just won their last game on the road against a ranked Texas opponent and they have won 6 of their last 7 games as well, including their last 3 straight. Their only loss in that span actually came against Oklahoma just over a week ago and they will surely be looking for revenge here at home where they have been a much better team this season. Texas Tech has already knocked off back-to-back ranked opponents in their last 2 games and they should have no problem getting the win here by double digits against an Oklahoma team that has been awful in their last few games.

Notable Quotes

 
“Struggled guarding the dribble. Really struggled guarding the dribble early on. We switch a lot and that’s the number one area where we missed Elijah. We felt it right away.” - Porter Moser on his team’s loss against ISU.
 
 
"This game felt like a tug-of-war. They were fighting for everything and we were doing the same. I have a lot of respect for Coach (Chris) Beard and his staff. I've learned so much from them. I don't like playing my friends. Our teams are very similar. We both guard and are very physical and tough. We were just fortunate enough that the clock ran out and we had a win." - Mark Adams on his team’s win against Texas.
