We have finally reached March Madness and the round of 64 takes place on Thursday and Friday. One of the first games to tip on Friday is between the Northern Kentucky Norse and the Texas Tech Red Raiders at BOK Arena in Tulsa.
The only other time these two teams faced off was in 2012 when the Red Raiders won 75-69.
Northern Kentucky Norse
The Northern Kentucky Norse had a strong finish to the season and that was enough to get them an automatic win to the NCAA tournament.
Coming into this game they have won five games in a row but have only been able to cover two of those spreads. For the Norse it’s all about the play on the offensive end of the floor.
[dfads params=’groups=20599&limit=1&return_javascript=1′]
Coming into this game they are averaging 77.8 points per game while shooting 47.5 percent from the field. They are facing a good defensive team so it’s going to be important the offense is good.
If the offense struggles early on in this game, they will fall behind early and that will lead to a blowout loss and another failed cover.
Texas Tech Red Raiders
On the other side of this matchup is the Texas Tech Red Raiders who won a share of the Big 12 regular season title, but an early exit in the Big 12 tournament led to a lower seed than they were probably hoping for.
Coming into this game they have won nine of the last ten games with the only loss during that stretch coming against the Mountaineers in their last game.
For the Red Raiders, it’s all about their play on the defensive side of the ball. On the season they are giving up 59.3 points per game.

To make a run in the NCAA tournament, the defense is going to need to be good early on, and the hope in this game is that they can rest their starters for some of the second half.
