In their last three games, the Red Raiders have displayed an impressive offensive arsenal. They've consistently shot over fifty percent from two-point range and maintained a free throw percentage above seventy percent. Their three-point shooting has also been notable, hitting forty-six percent against Sam Houston and maintaining a steady average beyond the arc.


Defensively, Texas Tech has proven to be formidable as well. With steals ranging from four to nine per game and blocks averaging around four per game in recent matchups, they've demonstrated their ability to disrupt opponents' plays effectively.

One of the most striking aspects of the Red Raiders' recent play is their assist-to-turnover ratio. In two out of three past games, they've managed ratios above 2.0 – a testament to their careful ball handling and teamwork.


The upcoming game at Moody Center presents its own set of challenges as playing away can influence team dynamics; however, given that both teams share the same time zone should mitigate some potential disadvantages related to travel fatigue or scheduling.
