Texas Tech vs Oklahoma State Prediction
TT has been playing very well recently winning 6 of their last 7 games but they have been winning a lot of their games by close margins and they have not been that great on the road this season either. They are only 3-6 on the road this season but they have been great against conference opponents as they are 12-5. They are going up against an Oklahoma State side that is only 9-6 at home this season and they have struggled against conference opponents this season with a 7-10 record. Oklahoma State has also lost 2 of their last 3 games and they really have nothing to play for while Texas Tech is going to be a tournament team. TT has been gaining a lot of steam recently and they are a much better team than Oklahoma State is. TT should get the win on the road here but they have not been as good on the road and Oklahoma State will surely come to play in this last game at home this season. TT should win this game by single digits.
