This number is built on recent form, not full context. Texas Tech has dropped two straight, but Christian Anderson's return matters more than the box score suggests. He stabilizes their shot quality and spacing, and that shows up in the efficiency profile. The Red Raiders rank top-15 nationally in three-point percentage (38.6%) and effective FG%, while West Virginia allows clean perimeter looks and struggles to contest volume shooting. Tech also owns a clear edge in assist-to-turnover ratio, which travels well. McCasland's group has consistently responded after losses, and this is a bounce-back spot against a Mountaineer offense that ranks outside the top 250 in scoring. This spread is asking Texas Tech to be who they've been most of the season.
Good Luck!
