What a night it was in the Madness. Boy was a I wrong about Marquette and I do offer my apologies on that one Cappers.
That’ll happen though.
In this one we see the heavily favoured Red Raiders take on the Montana State Bobcats.
Montana State Bobcats
Coming into this one the Bobcats are on fire. They are 8-2 in their last ten games.
They actually average 5 more points on average than their counterparts in this one which is an intriguing stat on such a big spread. They also have better metrics in every other shooting stat, free throw, three ball and field goals.
The problem is, Texas Tech has one of the best defensive structures in the tournament right now and it appears that the books are aware of this. +15.5 is a lot of points but if the Riders play to form like they have could be a long night for these Bobcats.
Texas Tech Red Raiders
Texas Tech has been a trendy pick heading into the tournament for the reason I just highlighted. This defence is lights out.
The Raiders are averaging an allowance of 60 points per game to opponents which is incredible. They are also sub 39% in allowing field goals and 31% in three balls allowed.
Not a lot room out there in the Texas Tech’s end of the court.

Free Montana State Bobcats vs. Texas Tech Red Raiders NCAA Tournament Prediction:
I am going to lay the -15.5 here with the Riders. What convinces me is the quality of their play in far tougher conference.
I know that it’s a lot of points but I really believe they can come up with it. The Bobcats have no chance in this game.
This defence will be too difficult for them to solve.
