This is a play on the TEXAS TECH RED RAIDERS for our Sweet 16 Thursday Late Powerhouse. Texas Tech has gotten a decent draw through the first two rounds of the NCAA Tournament facing a pair of mid-Majors but it was able to win in two different ways, both turning into runaway wins. The Red Raiders took 46 three-pointers against UNC Wilmington which was a huge number but it took what it was given and followed that up by taking only 14 shots from long range against Drake as they pounded it inside to JT Toppin and Darrion Williams, again taking what was given. These two styles shows it can adjust and play with anyone and caught another good break here having to face Arkansas which has a much different style than St. John’s and one that favors Texas Tech. Even better news is that Chance McMillian looks to be on the road to coming back and adds another element to the offense with his 14.2 ppg and he will give it all he has with game being in San Francisco, 30 minutes from his hometown. The Arkansas story has been nice but its inconsistent half-court offense cannot keep up here, especially against an elite defense. 10* (630) Texas Tech Red Raiders
