According to these statistics, the Red Raiders fall into the 25th spot for offensive efficiency, the 39th spot for defensive efficiency, and the 241st spot for pace (after taking into account games that were missed).
Houston Cougars Betting Prediction
Now we have the Texas Tech vs Houston Betting prediction for the Cougars.
As a result of shooting 43.8 percent (240th), Houston averages 74.2 points per game, which places them in the 165th position. Their percentage of shots made from beyond the arc is 34.8 percent, which places them in the 135th position. UH has a free throw percentage of 68.7%, which places it in the 298th position.

Texas Tech vs Houston Betting Pick
While Houston was playing their only game of the season, Texas Tech was no match for them. Houston was able to keep the Red Raiders to fewer than 30 points in both half of the game. When compared to UH, TTU only made 36.7% of their shots, lost 38-28 in rebounds, and turned the ball over eight times more frequently than United States. In the paint, Houston defeated Texas Tech by a score of 40–8, revealing that they are the superior team inside.
In spite of everything that happened, the Red Raiders played BYU in a fantastic contest. Despite the fact that they attempt the most three-point shots per game in the country, the Cougars fell short of seven out of thirty-five three-point shots. Following the break, the Cougars made a last-ditch effort to make a comeback, but TTU was able to hold them off and win the first half 42–23. The offense of the Red Raiders performed admirably; they shot 49.1% overall and 9/19 (47.4%) from three-point range throughout the game.
They will take that play over into their game on Friday, which is against the Cougars, who are the top-seeded team. I am confident that Texas Tech will utilize the humiliation they experienced from their prior loss to Houston as motivation. In comparison to how they performed in that road defeat, they have improved their three-point shooting, and they are extremely dangerous when they get to the free throw line frequently (18th in FT%). It is not nearly as difficult to win a straight-up game against Houston as it is to cover the spread. My prediction is that the Red Raiders will play with sufficient intensity to keep the score closer than the majority of people anticipate it will be.
