T.M. Selection: Texas.

I like Texas to cover the spread against Texas Tech in this game on Saturday. Texas has won 3/4 games of their previous 4 and they just won their most recent game. They have looked really good at home this year at 15-1 and I think they can get the win over Texas Tech on their home court here. They have won 4 games in a row on their home court and have even won 2 of those over ranked teams. I think Texas has looked really good with their defense lately too and I think they will get some key stops and turnovers here to get the edge in this game. They are giving up less than 60 points per game and I think their defensive play is going to be key for them in winning this game. Texas Tech hasn't been great in road games this year either at 2-5 and I think Texas will get the better of them on their home court here. Texas Tech has won 2 games in a row but both of those wins were at home and their last loss came in a road game by 10+ points. Texas Tech hasn't looked as good as Texas with their defense and I think Texas is going to be able to put up more points on them. Texas also lost in a road game to Texas tech at the beginning of this month so that loss will still be on their mind in this game. I expect Texas to come motivated to play here and I think they can get the win here. I like Texas to cover the spread in this game.

T.M. Prediction: 72-66 Texas.
