The line on the Oklahoma vs. Texas Tech game was coming in at Red Raiders -8.
ESPN.com notes that Texas Tech has used stifling half-court defense, boosted by its depth, to augment its motion offense. The Red Raiders shoot just 35 percent from 3-point range and rank next-to-last in the Big 12 in scoring offense but lead the conference in scoring margin. Go figure.
The line on this game should be Texas Tech -7 according to the College Basketball Betting Power Ratings, so we are seeing a half point to one point shading.
The home team has won the last five in this series and all but one of those was by more than the current spread. Historic stats conflict with the Power Ratings, and it doesn't help matters that the Sooners have been horrible Against The Spread this season (8-15 ATS).
