Texas Tech Vs Northern Iowa (Under 136)

Texas Tech/Northern Iowa Under 136 (-115)

Gobble Gobble! Texas Tech & Norther Iowa will both look to bounce back after losses yesterday but it's not the winner we're interested in. This is a matchup of 2 slower offenses.

Avg Possesion Length:

Tech 17.2 sec (ranked 192nd)

UNI 17.6 sec (ranked 233rd)

UNI (averaging 67 pts/game in 2 games in Bahamas) will also be playing it's 3rd game in five days against a stingy Texas Tech defense:

Texas Tech Defense

OPP Pts/game - 59.3 (ranked 15th)

OPP Effective FG % - 41.9% (ranked 23rd)

OPP 3 Pt % - 24.8% (ranked 20th)

OPP Assists/FG Made - 38.20 (ranked 20th)

The under should get some help from both teams in the Rebound & Turnover dept as well:

OFF Turnover %

Texas Tech - 21.9% (ranked 319th)

UNI - 19.3% (ranked 249th)

OFF Non-steal Turnover %

Texas Tech - 10.1% (ranked 287th)

UNI - 11.8% (ranked 346th)

Both defenses are in the top half of D1 in OFF Rebound % allowed

OPP OFF Reb %

Texas Tech - 26.6% (ranked 102nd)

UNI - 28% (ranked 138th)

Both offenses happen to be some of the worst in D1 getting their shots blocked

OPP Block %

Texas Tech - 17.8% (ranked 360th)

UNI - 13.8% (ranked 330th)

It could get close but for these reasons I like this one to stay low and get the job done.

Go Defense!
