Texas Tech vs Kansas Game Preview

Tonight will see the meeting of two of the Big 12's most exciting teams. Although it may sound odd, this sentence is very accurate.
The Texas Tech Red Raiders found something in February. They have won four of their five conference games after starting off 0-8.
Their hot streak is a far cry from that of Kansas. The Jayhawks suffered a midseason setback but have since won eight of their nine last games.

Red Raiders' late-season revival was not an accident. It is a result of Fardaws Aimaq's return.
Aimaq missed most of the year due to a foot injury. However, he has made his presence known with authority. Since his return, he has scored in double figures in four games; three performances have resulted in victories.
Aimaq, a seven-footer with great skill, has proven he can score at all three levels. But his greatest strength is in the paint.
The Jayhawks are susceptible in this one area.

Aimaq's success has made the Red Raiders a formidable team in scoring points in the paint. Kevin Obanor (a guard), Aimaq, and De'Vion Harm (a guard) all shoot over 64% from close range. As a result, the Jayhawks have lost 35% of their points from this area.
As turnovers are a problem for the Red Raiders, keeping the ball on the inside is the key. Kansas isn't big enough to compete with Texas tech on the low block.

As I said in the opening, Jayhawks have been rolling lately with incredible offensive performances.
It has been a lot easier to execute within the arc.
Kansas, like its opponent, likes to play inside. Many players can do this. K.J. Adams Jr. is the man to watch as he has converted almost 70% of his looks from close range.

Jalen Wilson is a key component of the Jayhawks' offense. This hyper-athletic wing has made a significant step in the season. Although he hasn't been very efficient, his volume of play and ability to score at all three levels will be important in this NCAAB matchup.
Kansas is the bigger team around the rim, although it has the edge on paper. Jayhawks may have to settle for perimeter shots which could lead to a slowdown in their offense.

Texas Tech vs Kansas State Head-to-Head this season

Obanor dominated from all levels of the court, but Texas Tech hung in and suffered a close loss at home to Kansas.

The addition of Aimaq makes them much more formidable in the paint on both ends of the floor.
Their inside presence will also impact the Jayhawks on both ends of the court. While Kansas has plenty of players who can shoot, it’s far less likely the Jayhawks will go on big runs if they settle for perimeter shots. Texas Tech proved they could play against Kansas in their previous game this season, and the Red Raiders have only improved since then.

Bet the over in this game as I think Kansas breaks 80 points in this one and Texas Tech will get in the 70s.
