The upcoming matchup on Tuesday night between the two teams has posed an interesting scenario as they have split their last ten meetings. Texas Tech has emerged victorious in three of the last four encounters, while the Horned Frogs have managed to cover the spread in three of the four matchups. Texas Tech boasts an impressive record of nine wins out of the last ten games, albeit failing to cover the number in two of their recent three games. On the other hand, the Horned Frogs have secured four wins in their last five games and covered the number in three of those matches.
