#4 Baylor flies down to Lubbock Tuesday night to take on #22 Texas Tech. These are two very good, very defensive-minded Pac-12 teams and this should be a hell of a game.
Plus, there’s no better way to kick off Hump Day than by winning some money the night before. Let’s get after it…
Baylor Bears
After falling to Washington in their second game of the season, Baylor has just ripped off nine straight Ws. They’ve managed to cover in 6 of them.

Additionally, they’ve had some really good wins during the streak! They took down Villanova (KenPom #27), Arizona (KenPom #11), Butler (KenPom #5), and Texas (KenPom #67). The only one of those wins where they didn’t cover was against Butler.
That’s a pretty damn good resume this far into the season. No wonder they’re ranked #4.
What does Baylor do really well? They DEFEND.
They’re rated 9th in KenPom adjusted defense, 13th in defensive rating, and allow the 11th fewest points/game to their opponents (only 58.9). Also, their effective FG% allowed is only 43%, which is 15th in the nation.
All-in-all, it’s really hard to score against Baylor.
They play at a pretty slow tempo (214th in KenPom adjusted tempo), so they don’t score a lot. However, Baylor does have a top-50 offensive rating and is ranked 30th in KenPom adjusted offense.
It helps when you have the scoring duo of Jared Butler and MaCio Teague, who are both scoring over 15 points/game. What’s great about these two is that they’re both averaging almost 7 3pt attempts/game, and Teague is hitting them at 36% while Butler is hitting them at 42%. That’s promising.
Texas Tech Red Raiders
The Red Raiders might have a slight Final Four hangover.
Just over a month ago, they dropped three straight to Iowa, Creighton, and DePaul. Even less appealing, they’re 2-6 ATS in their last eight.
They do have solid wins against Louisville and Oklahoma State, but the rest of their wins this year were all against sub-200 KenPom teams. That’s not a great resume.
Obviously, we know Texas Tech is a defensive minded team. Their KenPom adjusted defense is ranked 13th in the nation, and they have a top-20 defensive rating.
However, I wouldn’t say they’ve been especially special on that side of the ball. In fact, I wouldn’t say they’ve been especially special on either side of the ball, as their offense has been mediocre.
Their offense has been mediocre outside of Jahmi’us Ramsey, who’s been scoring 17.5 points/game on a ridiculous 50.4/48.9/66.7 shooting splits. He was hurt for both the DePaul and Creighton losses and the Louisville win, so the Raiders could potentially be very dangerous with him in the lineup.
CBB Betting Trends:
- Baylor are 6-3 in their last nine games ATS.
- Baylor are 14-6 in their last 20 games against Texas Tech.
- Texas Tech are 2-6 in their last eight games ATS.
Free Baylor Bears vs. Texas Tech Red Raiders NCAAB Prediction: Bears roll through Raiders in Lubbock.
Baylor are 1-5 ATS in their last six playing on the road against Texas Tech. I don’t expect that trend to continue on Tuesday night.
The Red Raiders have been too inconsistent as a team in recent stretches and simply haven’t played as tough of a schedule as Baylor has. The Bears have proven their worth against a bunch of really impressive teams, and I see them continuing to do that here.
Baylor hits the road for a week after this game, but I see them opening up the road trip strong with a Win here in Lubbock.
