TOM STRYKER’S FREE BASKETBALL SELECTION SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 3RD
#746 TEXAS TECH (-4′) over Cincinnati at 6 PM EST
Checking in angry off a SU and ATS road loss at TCU, Texas Tech will return home and knock off Cincinnati in this huge Big 12 showdown. The Bearcats stumble into this conference battle off a SU and ATS road loss to the Mountaineers and this will be another difficult trip for head coach Wes Miller and his boys.
When running the court in Lubbock, the Red Raiders have been at their financial best posting a strong 43-6 SU and 28-20-1 ATS record in their last 49 games. In this situation fighting a foe that enters off a straight up loss, Tech improves to a rewarding 19-4 SU and 15-7-1 ATS including an amazing 15-0 SU and 12-2-1 ATS if their opponent was on the road in their last game. Additionally, Big 12 single digit conference home favorites that check in off a true road game hold a profitable 112-76-3 ATS tally provided their opponent arrives off a straight up loss and owns a pointspread won/loss percentage less than .500. If our “play on” side arrives off an ATS blemish, this Big 12 trend improves to a solid 57-35-1 ATS.
This isn’t the best wagering spot for UC either. As a guest checking in off a road game, the Bearcats have struggled financially inking a weak 14-28 ATS record provided their opponent enters off a road war. In this setting battling a conference foe, Cincinnati falls to a feeble 12-26 ATS including a rough 8-24 ATS if it is priced as a favorite or a short underdog of +5.5 or less. Also, when stepping up in class and fighting a foe that owns a team won/loss percentage of .725 or higher, Cincy holds a pitiful 21-37 ATS mark including a horrible 13-31 ATS provided the Bearcats sport a team won/loss percentage of .601 or better.
The Red Raiders have been tough to beat inside United Supermarkets Arena (11-0 SU this season) and, with a trip to No. 18 Baylor on deck, head coach Grant McCasland will make sure his troops take care of business here. Take Texas Tech. Thanks and best of luck, Tom.
