Texas Tech Basketball: Why the Red Raiders Will Beat Villanova
The Texas Tech basketball team has a good chance to build on their historic season by beating Villanova and advancing to their first ever Final Four. Here’s why the Red Raiders will upset the Wildcats.
Locking down shooters
Villanova’s 3-point shooting is a well-documented strength, and if the Red Raiders aren’t able to defend the arc, they could be in for a long night against the Wildcats. If Nova gets out to a big lead with their shooting, it may be tough for Tech to keep up. The Texas Tech basketball team isn’t known for its 3-point shooting, and has struggled to score in big chunks during the tournament. However, it has already proven its ability to efficiently guard the 3-point line.
