Krest's Prediction: The Cyclones will have their way with the Red Raiders.
The Texas Tech Red Raiders will play their first road game since losing All-American candidate J.T. Toppin to a season-ending knee injury. The Red Raiders looked fine in back-to-back home wins over Kansas State and Cincinnati, but traveling to face No.
4 Iowa State Cyclones is a whole different animal.call for reality to set in for the Red Raiders, who come out on the wrong end of an Iowa State cover.but it'll also be without the only player over 6-foot-6 who plays more than 20 minutes a night. Tech has beaten K-State and Cincinnati, two teams that rank below 180 in offensive rebounding rate since losing Toppin. Iowa State is No. 33. The100 spots higher than Tech's last two opponents. Iowa State and Tech play at the 189th- and 211th-ranked tempos in the country, respectively. The Cyclones have gone Under in the last two games and five of the last six. Tech has been under five of the last seven. Joshua Jefferson leads Iowa State in rebounding and is second in scoring at 16.6 points per game. He is also an elite defender and should be able to help capitalize on a Texas Tech team that turned it over on one in five possessions against Cincinnati last time out.Forwards have been gashing the Toppin-less Red Raiders. Kansas State's 6-foot-7 Taj Manning was averaging 3.8 points a game but went for 10 against Tech. Cincinnati's three tallest players—Moustapha Thiam, Baba Miller, and Jalen Celestine—combined for 48 points, more than 14 over their combined season average. In addition to being 6-foot-8, like Jefferson, Momcilovic is also the team's best three-point shooter, hitting more than half his 7.3 attempts. While point guard Christian Anderson is attempting to carry the Red Raiders on his back the rest of the way, Watts has also stepped up his scoring, tallying 32 in the last two games without Toppin.Affiliate Disclosure : Our team of experts has thoroughly researched and handpicked each product that appears on our website.
