Kansas at Texas Tech Pick & Prediction
Last time out, Kansas opened their Big 12 play with a 74-63 road win over Oklahoma State. This game was tied with 14 minutes left, but Kansas went on a big run to pull away and get the double-digit win. David McCormack came off the bench and put on a show as he put up 17 points and 15 rebounds in 23 minutes. Jalen Wilson also came off the bench and got 15 rebounds. Oklahoma State had a poor shooting night as they went 35.7% from the field, 23.5% (4-17) from three, and made nine of their 13 free throws.
Texas Tech visited the Iowa State Cyclones and left with a 51-47 defeat. Iowa State dominated most of the game, but a late Texas Tech run made this game much closer than Iowa State would have liked. Davion Warren led the team with 12 points, but the best all-around game, for Texas Tech, was Adonis Arms and his seven points, eight rebounds, two assists, and four steals. Iowa State shot 30.6% from the field, just 28.0% from beyond the arc, and made 14 of their 19 free throws.
