What to Know

The Texas Tech Red Raiders will be returning home after a two-game road trip. Texas Tech and the #24 TCU Horned Frogs will face off in a Big 12 battle at noon ET Saturday at United Supermarkets Arena. The Red Raiders are out to keep their three-game home win streak alive.

Texas Tech didn't have too much trouble with the Oklahoma Sooners on the road on Tuesday as they won 74-63. Texas Tech can attribute much of their success to guard Jaylon Tyson, who had 18 points along with eight boards, and forward Fardaws Aimaq, who posted a double-double on 19 points and ten rebounds.

Meanwhile, TCU was within striking distance but couldn't close the gap on Monday as they fell 63-58 to the Kansas Jayhawks. Guard Mike Miles Jr. wasn't much of a difference maker for TCU; Miles Jr. played for 38 minutes with 4-for-14 shooting.

Barring any buzzer beaters, the Red Raiders are expected to win a tight contest. They are currently five-for-five against the spread in their most recent games, a trend bettors might want to take into account.

Texas Tech is now 16-12 while the Horned Frogs sit at 18-10. A couple stats to keep an eye on: Texas Tech is 38th worst in college basketball in turnovers per game, with 14.1 on average. To make matters even worse for the Red Raiders, TCU ranks 26th in college basketball when it comes to takeaways, with 16 on average.
