Texas Tech Red Raiders NCAA Basketball Betting
Texas Tech fell off the NCAA Tournament bubble last week and now would need an amazing run in the upcoming Big 12 Tournament to make the big dance. The Red Raiders were trying to do something historic, as they began the season losing each of their first eight Big 12 games and they had given their fans some hope. That hope was ended last week with losses to Kansas and Oklahoma State. It seems unlikely the Red Raiders have a miracle run in them to win the Big 12 Tournament.
Texas Tech will have to do it the hard way if they are to advance in the Big 12 Tournament, as they have to play in a first round game against West Virginia on Wednesday and if they win that game, they would then face the No. 1 seeded Kansas Jayhawks in the quarterfinals on Thursday.

Texas Tech Red Raiders Weekly Recap
On Saturday in Lubbock, Texas, Caleb Asberry led visiting Oklahoma State to a 71-68 victory over Texas Tech with a season-high 24 points, while Bryce Thompson chipped in with 19. Asberry helped the Cowboys end a five-game losing streak by making 7 of 12 shots from outside the arc and pulling down six rebounds. Thompson helped Oklahoma State attempt to sweep Texas Tech for the season by making three of his four attempts from beyond the arc. On February 8, he contributed a game-high 21 points to the Cowboys' 71-68 victory over the Red Raiders. Moussa Cisse had six points, nine rebounds, and four blocks while Tyreek Smith scored 11 points.
The Red Raiders, who have now dropped three straight games, were helped by nine points from Pop Isaacs, Jaylon Tyson, Fardaws Aimaq, and De'Von Harmon. After Tyson made a 3-pointer with 2:19 left in the second half, Texas Tech overcame a 13-point deficit to take the lead at 63-62. When Cisse made a slam and Asberry retaliated with a 3-pointer from the corner, Oklahoma State's lead increased to 67-63. The Red Raiders' deficit was halved by Harmon's basket, but John-Michael Wright's free throw and Cisse's subsequent dunk increased the score.
With three seconds left, Isaacs made a deep 3-pointer to cut Oklahoma State's advantage to 70-68. Before Tyson's errant 3-point effort went wide, Asberry converted one of two free throws.
Asberry hit three 3-pointers to help Oklahoma State increase their three-point lead at halftime to 13 points, 53-40. Thompson's accurate shooting helped the Cowboys take an early 18-6 lead.
