Kansas vs Texas Tech Key Stats
The Jayhawks' season has gotten off to another quick start, and Tuesday's game will be their first Big 12 away game of the year. It may also take place in one of the toughest settings. They managed to sneak past Oklahoma State in their Big 12 debut the last time, so they are aware that this will be a difficult challenge.
Even though it happened on a neutral court in that one, their lone loss of the year occurred away from home. They will not forget that they lost the previous year's encounter against the Raiders, as they want exact revenge. As they continue their quest for a Big 12 championship, they now have the opportunity to accumulate important Big 12 victories.
With a 10-3 record thus far this year, the Red Raiders, who have enjoyed success in recent seasons, may make another push for the NCAA Tournament. Although they still hope to get a good win this season, their most recent loss against TCU wasn't too bad considering they were on the road.
They currently have a record of 0-3, with their best victory coming against Georgetown, a well-known but not particularly impressive opponent. They have an unbeaten record this season, so they will be hoping that playing at home will help. They hope to replicate last year's victory over the Jayhawks at home.
Kansas vs Texas Tech Betting Prediction
The Red Raiders' lack of depth is a problem, and the Jayhawks' experience should allow them to draw fouls and expose the Red Raiders' lack of a bench. The Red Raiders have also gone 0-6-1 against teams with winning records in their last seven games.
