Texas Tech - Oklahoma

NEWPORT · Mar 12, 2005

I need big 12 leadership here. I am ON the over 142 already, and actually think it is one of the strongest plays today. I want to pull the trigge on TT money line, I need insight

thanks NEWPORT

Newport,

I am a huge Texas Tech fan and have made a lot of money playing on and against them at times this year. It is remarkable the job Robert Knight has done with this team this year, predicted to finish 7th in the conference pre-season.
That being said, the weakness of the Red Raiders is the lack of bulk underneath and depth. Giles is a skinny post player playing out of position due to the lack of big men. He is backed up by a slow learning freshman and a walkon tight end from the football team. TT is forced to help defend with perimeter players leaving open 3 pt looks. When the oppostion is hitting the trey, TT usually loses big. TT does not match up well with the inside game of OU. I will pass on this game today.

Good Luck

tt did beat okie in Norman this yr, and if it wasn't for a bad second half last week, could have possibly pulled off another upset in Lubbock. +6 looks good to me on a neutral court. just my 2 cents.
