Baylor (10-6, 2-2) takes on Texas Tech (15-2, 4-1) at 5:00 on ESPN2. The Red Raiders are four point favorites.
1) Texas Tech 3-point and free throw misses- The Red Raiders have the best defense of the KenPom era (since 2002). They hold opponents to 82.8 points per 100 possessions, which is an insane clip. They held Duke’s magnificent offense below the worst offense in the country’s average.
Given Texas Tech’s defense, the Bears probably need to get a little lucky to win this game. A bad West Virginia team nearly beat Texas Tech. They did that because Texas Tech went just 3-of-18 from three.
