<p>In years past, this is an easy smash spot for Arizona. They are at home coming off a loss and sit in a stereotypical &#8220;bounce back&#8221; spot in their own gym. However I wouldn&#8217;t be so quick to count out the Red Raiders, as they are still a top team in college hoops. Texas Tech has won two straight since losing to Kansas in Lubbock and have a big upset win over Duke and Houston this year. But taking down the top ranked Wildcats on the road is a tough ask.</p>
<p>This Red Raiders team is overshadowed by some other giants in the conference, but you can never count them out. Sure, they are a much better team on their home floor (who isn&#8217;t), however they are clearly still capable of getting things done away from home. But can they do it this weekend against a team whose recent loss might have been the best thing for them.</p>

<h3>Texas Tech vs. Arizona Prediction: Arizona Wins and Covers, Over 155.5</h3>
<h3><a href="https://affiliates.bettingnews.com/register/luckyrebel-articles/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Best Bet: Texas Tech/Arizona Over 155.5 (-110) Lucky Rebel Sportsbook</a></h3>
<p>While I do think the Wildcats win and cover the double digit spread, I trust Texas Tech to keep up. The Wildcats are top 25 in the country in terms of pace, and jump into the top 12 when on their home floor, averaging an extra couple of possessions per game. They are crazy efficient on offense, especially at getting to the hoop and grabbing offense boards, but their defense is rock solid as well. However, the Red Raiders shoot the ball as good as anyone in the country.</p>
<p>Texas Tech jumps 30 spot in terms of pace in six true road games this year, but they aren&#8217;t shy about letting it fly. This team takes over 46% of their shots from deep, and are top six in the country in 3P% away from home, making them at a 41.6% clip. Not to mention they are also top 30 in 2P% away from home. Now, they struggle to get to the line and grab offensive rebounds, but I believe they can make up for it as Arizona is No. 8 in the conference in 3P Rate defense.</p>
<p>Ultimately, yes. We are rooting for both teams to score which can be viewed as a &#8220;square&#8221; play. However, I think Arizona might get caught flat footed on defense as we&#8217;ve seen with other teams coming to Tucson. The Sun Devils gave them a run for their money by shooting 44% from deep, and the Red Raiders are certainly capable of doing the same. Plus, Arizona hosts BYU on Wednesday, which may cause them to be looking ahead a tad.</p>
