The 12-ranked Texas Longhorns are favored in college basketball betting at Sbg global on Tuesday at Texas Tech.
It will be the Big 12 opener for Texas and they are expected to win in college basketball odds against the Red Raiders.
Longhorns Going for Fifth Straight vs. Tech
The Longhorns have pretty much owned the Red Raiders recently winning the last four contests. Texas is coming off a loss though as they were beaten at home on Saturday by Connecticut in overtime. The Longhorns had won six straight games before that loss. The reason Texas loss was because they were pounded on the boards as they have up 23 offensive rebounds. In the series against Texas Tech the Longhorns have outrebounded the Red Raiders in the last four wins. Texas has won 26 of the last 29 matchups with the Red Raiders, including 11 of 13 in Lubbock.
Tech is Struggling
Texas Tech has lost eight straight conference games including their most recent game on Saturday as Baylor beat them 71-59. The Red Raiders shot the ball poorly (35.8 percent) and they were never really in the game. Texas Tech’s leading scorer is Mike Singletary but he is only averaging 13.7 points per game. Texas Tech doesn’t figure to get well against a Texas team that has owned them. Texas Tech under Pat Knight simply has not been very good. The Red Raiders are 7-26 in Big 12 play since the start of the 2008-09 season.
