JT Toppin led the way with 21 points and eight rebounds on the night. But they have stumbled a little down the stretch, going 4-3 in their last seven.

Our Texas Tech Red Raiders vs Colorado Prediction
Colorado has been a terrible road team this year, going 0-9 away from home. They’ve struggled to put points on the board, and that does not bode well when playing a solid defensive team like Texas Tech. The Red Raiders are playing well and will have no problem taking down a struggling Buffaloes team.
Our Colorado vs. Texas Tech Pick: Texas Tech -18.5
