Utah State vs. Texas Tech NCAA Tournament Prediction
While the Red Raiders are just 6-16 against the spread in their last 22 games overall and 5-13 against the number in their last 18 games as a favorite, keep in mind that they played in one of the best conferences in college basketball this season. While Utah State deserves respect, Tech is battle tested and should handle the Aggies this afternoon.
