Current Records: Texas Tech 11-3; Baylor 15-0

What to Know

The #19 Texas Tech Red Raiders haven't won a game against the #1 Baylor Bears since Feb. 16 of 2019, but they'll be looking to end the drought Tuesday. Texas Tech and the Bears will face off in a Big 12 battle at 7 p.m. ET at Ferrell Center. These two teams seek to continue their momentum from their previous wins.

The Red Raiders were able to grind out a solid victory over the Kansas Jayhawks this past Saturday, winning 75-67. Texas Tech's forward Bryson Williams looked sharp as he had 22 points in addition to eight rebounds.

Meanwhile, Baylor strolled past the TCU Horned Frogs with points to spare this past Saturday, taking the matchup 76-64. Baylor can attribute much of their success to guard James Akinjo, who had 20 points and eight assists, and guard Adam Flagler, who shot 6-for-10 from beyond the arc and finished with 22 points.

Texas Tech have to know they'll be fighting an uphill battle given the 12 point spread they are up against. However, those who like betting on the underdog should be happy to hear that they are 3-1 against the spread when expected to lose.

The wins brought the Red Raiders up to 11-3 and the Bears to 15-0. Two stats to keep in the back of your head while watching: Texas Tech enters the contest with only 58.3 points allowed per game on average, good for 12th best in college basketball. But Baylor ranks 12th in college basketball when it comes to points per game, with 82.8 on average. These opposing strengths should make for an exciting matchup.
