It is finally time to throw-down in Austin! Horns down, Guns up, let’s go!
Tip-Off: 8:00 pm CT
Texas Tech: 10-3
Texas: 10-1
Arena: Frank Erwin Center (Austin, Texas)
Broadcast: ESPN2
Betting line: Tech (+2)
Home players to watch: Andrew Jones
Jones is the comeback story of the year. Battling back from cancer to become the guy at Texas is an incredible story. He is averaging a smooth 13.4 pts/g and 2.4 assists which compliments Texas’ other great guards.
Away players to watch: Kevin McCullar
McCullar is coming off what is hopefully the first of many double-doubles. More impressive than his scoring and rebounds is his defense. He completely neutralizes anyone he guards, and with Texas having so many talented ball-handlers taking that lights-out defense will be even more important.
