The Red Raiders came close to upending the Jayhawks when the two teams met back in early February, and now they are on their home court.
The Red Raiders hope the second time is the charm for their defense after blowing their last three consecutive games. However, they did cover as 7-point favorites against Baylor on Monday. ESPN's Joe Lunardi has dropped the Red Raiders to the ninth seed in the East bracket of his NCAA Tournament projections, while the Jayhawks have remained locked in at No 1 in the Midwest.

Texas Tech is only allowing an average 63.4 points per game against their defense this season. At the very least, they have the ability to force the Jayhawks into an ugly, low-scoring defensive slugfest.
A defensive approach seems like the best bet for the Red Raiders to pull off an upset and they've had this game circled all year and will come out strong on their home court. Play TEXAS TECH.
