Texas Tech Red Raiders DFS Spin
Daniel Batcho (foot) contributed six points (3-4 FG) and four rebounds across 21 minutes during Saturday’s 71-68 loss to Oklahoma State. Batcho was able to participate in the 2022-23 Raiders’ last game of their regular season. They will have a healthy roster before partaking in a tournament matchup against West Virginia on Wednesday. Like before, Batcho is expected to be a backup center of Fardaws Aimaq.
West Virginia Mountaineers DFS Spin
James Okonkwo finished with zero points (0-1 FG) and one rebound over eight minutes during Saturday’s 89-81 victory over Kansas State. During the 2022-23 Mountaineers’ tournament action, Okonkwo is expected to be a substitute who does not play much. He averaged 10.4 minutes across his 28 games between Nov. 7 and March 4. Because tournament games are expected to be competitive, the Mountaineers may have Jimmy Bell play more rather than alternating him with Okonkwo.
