Northern Kentucky vs. Texas Tech

Northern Kentucky has great balance on offense behind Drew McDonald (19.1 ppg, 9.5 rpg), Jalen Tate (14 points, 4.1 assists per game) and Tyler Sharpe (14.1 ppg). That offense is clicking, winning the Horizon League tourney as they've scored 86, 99, 64 and 77 points the last four contests, part of a 6-4 run OVER the total. But they will be hard-pressed to stop a Texas Tech offense that has scored 78+ points in seven of the last 10 games, on an 8-3-1 run OVER. The Red Raiders finished fifth in the Big 12 in scoring, second in shooting (.472) and three-point shooting (.368). Play the OVER.
