Arizona State vs Texas Tech Prediction

The current betting odds have Texas Tech listed as a 16.5 point favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. Texas Tech has looked really good in their games this season with their 18-5 record overall and their 9-3 conference record which has them right near the top of the Big 12. They have also looked really good on their home court this year with their 12-2 home record. Meanwhile, Arizona State hasn't looked good in their games this season with their 12-11 record overall and their 3-9 conference record which has them right near the bottom of the Big 12. They have looked terrible in their road games too with their 2-5 road record, and they are 1-4 in their last 5 games. They have no momentum on their side with 3 losses in a row now and they are coming off a terrible loss to Oklahoma State by double digits in their last one, Oklahoma State being right near the bottom of the Big 12 too. Texas Tech is entering this game as a ranked team with how good they have looked over the last few weeks and they will be looking to bounce back in a big way after losing their last one. They are coming off a road loss to Arizona in their last one who is also a top 3 team in the Big 12, and that loss snapped a 7 game winning streak that Texas Tech was on so look for them to bring their best effort here off that loss. Texas Tech has been rolling teams at home lately with most of their wins there coming by double digits, they will have no problem taking advantage of this bad Arizona State team that has struggled in road games all season. The best way to place a bet here is on Texas Tech to cover the spread in this game.

Notable Quotes


“Feel awful for Jayden. He was just sprinting down the middle of the floor and kind of got taken out and his legs undercut. He rolled his ankle pretty good. There was quite a bit of swelling in there. Was just hoping for the best when we got him to campus for his doctor’s appointment yesterday and the imaging that we took.” - Bobby Hurley on the injury to Jayden Quaintance.


"Arizona was more physical than us in every way. I mean, just the way they pushed it in transition, the way they got it into the paint and scored it at the basket through us, the way they bullied us with their defense of pushing all the catches out, their activity on the ball, their physicality in rebounding, their offensive rebounding, and scoring in the paint. They basically beat us in every area." - Grant McCasland after his team’s loss against Arizona in their last game.
