Houston vs Texas Tech Basketball Preview - 02-24-2025 With six wins against ranked opponents already under their belts, Texas Tech has proven themselves as one of the Big 12's premier teams this year and are undefeated through five games in conference play - something Houston cannot say of them yet! A victory at Houston on Monday would cement Texas Tech's place among its five best.

Tech defeated West Virginia 73-51 at Fertitta Center on Saturday with JT Toppin and Christian Anderson producing a plus-19 scoring margin after halftime, signifying that this team can rise up and take down any challenge with ease - perhaps even producing an upset at any given moment!

Houston Cougars have won 13 of their last 14 matches and sit atop of the Big 12 Standings after an exhilarating double-overtime win against Kansas on Saturday. LJ Cryer and Joseph Tugler each contributed 17 points as part of an undefeated streak that spans 18 consecutive Big 12 contests, which is second longest streak in conference history.

Houston's defense is unparalleled and a major contributor to their recent success, forcing turnovers at an elite rate and limiting opportunities for rival teams. Houston also makes plenty of threes; Cryer, Milos Uzan and Emmanuel Sharp rank among league leaders for 3-point attempts made per game.

Lubbock will host what promises to be an epic matchup between Texas Tech's premier defense and offense featuring Toppin McMillian and Chance McMillian as two skilled scorers, while Darrion Williams provides depth. The total over/under for this contest has been set at 155 points; 22 out of 26 games where Houston was listed as moneyline favorite saw an over hit while 11 times out of 15 contests when Texas Tech was listed as underdog saw the over.
