How much do you weigh Texas Tech HCA?
I have Houston as being 5.5 pts better than Tech on a neutral court. Texas Tech HCA according to KenPom is very high (4th in the nation) at 4.3 pts. I find that hard to agree with that number especially when playing Houston since Houston has show it can win vs good teams (Ariz, Baylor, Kansas) on the road and isn't impacted by the crowd.
Add to the mix that Texas Tech was the team to break Houston's home winning streak at 33 games 3 weeks ago in a very emotionally charged game (Toppin was ejected on a flagrant 2 foul that was complete BS and the coach McCasland was ejected at the same time). Texas Tech still winning that game w/ those factors makes me believe Houston will come out strong tonight to show's who's boss in B12.
