NCAA Basketball: Oklahoma Sooners vs Texas Tech Red Raiders- Possible Lineups and Predictions

NCAA Basketball action will continue when a massive Big 12 clash between the Oklahoma Sooners and the Texas Tech Red Raiders will take place. The Red Raiders look to break into the top 10 of the national rankings, while the Sooners are looking to maintain their position. But who will take this major conference matchup?

The Sooners are on a roll right now. They are coming off a massive win over the Alabama Crimson Tide which helped them extend their record to 11-4. They are on a five-game winning streak and have beaten higher-ranked opponents in their last three games.

The Red Raiders are coming off a strong win over the LSU Tigers. However, it hasn’t been long since they lost to the West Virginia Mountaineers. They also lost to the Baylor Bears prior to that, so a loss here could send them rolling down the wrong way.

Do the Sooners have enough to continue their streak of upset wins over teams ranked higher on the AP Poll?

NCAA Basketball: Will the Sooners pull another win off against the Red Raiders?

It wasn’t long ago that the Sooners looked like a middling team with a 6-4 record. However, their current win-streak has seen them beat a lot of tough opposition and establish them as a strong team in the Big 12.

This is a rematch from December, but the Red Raiders came victorious that time around.

The Red Raiders have a star in their team in Mac McClung. However, the team struggled to put the Sooners away comfortably the first time they met. If Oklahoma can have their shot fall more regularly this time around, the story of the game may be different.

The Sooners will be lining up with Umoja Gibson, De’Vion Harmon, Jalen Hill, Elijah Harkless, and Kur Kuath. Meanwhile, the Red Raiders will start with Terrence Shannon Jr., Kyler Edwards, Micah Peavy, Marcus Santos-Silve, and Mac McClung.

For our prediction, we are going with the Sooners. They have been doing really well in these big games and will hopefully carry that momentum against the Red Raiders, who have faltered in some tough matches recently.
