They are also excellent at the free-throw line, converting 80.1%, giving them an edge in a potentially close game. Meanwhile, Texas A&M's defense, while solid overall, has shown vulnerabilities, allowing 77 points to Creighton and 81 to Rutgers in recent outings, suggesting they may struggle to contain an offense as dynamic as Texas Tech’s.

This game is being played on a neutral court, which often encourages faster-paced, offense-driven play, especially with playoff implications on the line. While Texas A&M’s defense averages just 64.7 points allowed per game, their recent struggles and the upward movement in the total line to 141.5 suggest a higher-scoring contest.

With Texas Tech’s elite offensive efficiency and the likelihood of a competitive, high-tempo game, the Over 141.5 is a strong play in this matchup.
