Who's Playing

UTRGV @ No. 24 Texas Tech

Current Records: UTRGV 4-7; Texas Tech 7-3

What to Know

The UTRGV Vaqueros will square off against the #24 Texas Tech Red Raiders on the road at 2 p.m. ET on Saturday at United Supermarkets Arena. Texas Tech will be strutting in after a win while UTRGV will be stumbling in from a loss.

The Vaqueros came up short against the Nebraska Omaha Mavericks on Sunday, falling 92-82.

Meanwhile, the Red Raiders didn't have too much breathing room in their contest with the Southern Miss Golden Eagles on Monday, but they still walked away with a 71-65 victory. No one put up better numbers for the Red Raiders than G Chris Clarke, who really brought his A game. He posted a double-double on 14 points and 11 boards along with six dimes. That makes it three consecutive games in which Clarke has had at least 11 rebounds.

The Vaqueros are the clear underdogs, so they're hoping it's the size of the fight that determines this one. Those betting on them against the spread shouldn't have high expectations for them, either, since the team is 1-4 ATS when expected to lose.

The Vaqueros found themselves the reluctant recipients of an unpleasant 71-46 punch to the gut against the Red Raiders when the two teams previously met in December of last year. Can UTRGV avenge their defeat, or is history doomed to repeat itself? We'll soon find out.
