TEXAS (12-3 SU/6-6 ATS) at TEXAS TECH (16-2 SU/6-9-1 ATS)
Texas visits Texas Tech for a Big-12 Conference game between two nationally ranked teams. Texas enters this one off a 72-62 home loss to Oklahoma State on Saturday as -8 point favorites. Royal Ivey scored 14 points for Texas, which missed half of its 20 free throws in the game. James Thomas came off the bench to get 13 points and nine rebounds for the Longhorns, which got its best offensive production in the low post against the smaller Cowboys. Texas was 2-of-9 from the line over the last 4 minutes as the Longhorns tried to erase a 10-point deficit. The loss snapped Texas' 25-game home winning streak, where the Longhorns hadn't lost since February 20th, 2002. Texas comes in averaging 85.7 ppg, while giving up an average of 70.4 ppg and is led by freshman sensation P.J. Tucker, who has played a key role in the team's success this year. The 6-6, 220-pounder has been a force in the frontcourt, shooting .628 from the floor, while posting team-highs in scoring (12.7 ppg) and rebounding (6.9 rpg). Three veterans also are an integral part of Texas' offense. Brandon Mouton averages 12.7 ppg, which is tied for the team lead with Tucker, Brian Boddicker adds 9.7 ppg and Ivey checks in with an 11.3 ppg average.
Texas Tech won their last game on Saturday, an 80-78 road win at Texas A&M as -8½ point favorites. Andre Emmett scored 23 points, including the go-ahead basket with six seconds to play as the Red Raiders won their 12th consecutive game. Tech led by 12 points late in the first half, but only took a 40-37 lead into halftime. Jarrius Jackson added 16 points and Mikey Marshall had 14 for the Red Raiders, who shot 61 percent from the field. Emmett is clearly the catalyst to Tech's offense this season, as he averages 22.2 points and 6.7 rebounds per game. His scoring average leads the Big-12 this year. Jackson and Ronald **** are also averaging in double figures with 10.6 and 10.1 ppg, respectively. The team has done a good job of scoring this season with a 75.1 ppg average, while the defense has done a solid job as well by allowing just 62.5 ppg on 40.3 percent shooting. Texas is 7-2-1 ATS the last ten meetings with Texas Tech, however, the Red Raiders did beat the Longhorns 92-81 in the Big 12 Tournament quarterfinals in Dallas as +7 point underdogs last March. Texas Tech is 10-0 SU at home this season, with blowout wins in their last two conference games as a host over Oklahoma and Oklahoma State. The Red Raiders are currently riding a 12-game winning streak and should get the job done here.
