Keys to the Game:
- Don't Count On 43: I think this game will require a balanced effort and the last time Texas Tech played Missouri, the Red Raiders didn't have Okorie. The Red Raiders need a balanced attack from everyone, including Singletary, Okorie, Roberson and Voskuil.
- Don't Run: The Red Raiders don't have the horses to run with Mizzou and Texas Tech cannot try and outscore the Tigers. Run, but don't try and out-run Missouri, be patient on offense and slow the turnovers.
- Inside Production: Carroll went off the last time the Red Raiders played Mizzou and the Red Raiders will need to have some production from the inside players and although Darko had a decent game against TAMU, the Red Raiders will need to get something from Lewandowski, Rizvic, Suljagic and Cohadarevic, including blocking out the Tigers.
