Kansas vs Texas Tech Prediction & Betting Pick | College Basketball February 2, 2026

🏟️ Venue: United Supermarkets Arena - Lubbock, TX

Kansas is rolling into Lubbock on a five‑game streak and they look like a team that’s figured out how to win in hostile places. Recent wins over BYU, Kansas State, Colorado, Baylor and Iowa State show they can close out games on the road and handle pressure.

Offensively the Jayhawks are efficient: 78.8 PPG on 48% shooting, with 39.1 rebounds and 15.3 assists per game. They don’t rely on one scorer — ball movement and interior play keep their offense balanced and hard to disrupt.

Defensively Kansas brings physicality. They average 6.0 blocks and do a good job limiting opponent efficiency, which helps them control tempo without picking up cheap fouls late in games.

Texas Tech at home is dangerous — they score in bunches and feed off crowd energy. The Red Raiders average 84.0 PPG and 48% shooting, and their pace can turn any game into a track meet if the opponent lets it.

The Red Raiders also share the ball well (16.3 APG) and crash the glass (37.6 RPG), so they’re capable of quick runs that flip momentum in an instant. That said, their recent road slip to UCF shows they’re not immune to being slowed down.

This matchup comes down to tempo control. Kansas wants half‑court possessions and physical defense; Texas Tech wants transition and quick possessions. If Kansas executes its plan, possessions drop and scoring opportunities dry up.

Matchups to watch: Kansas interior defense vs Texas Tech’s guards pushing pace, and turnover margin — the team that protects the ball will force the other to play in uncomfortable spots. Rebounding battle will also determine how many extra chances the Red Raiders get.

Given Kansas’ ability to slow games and Texas Tech’s tendency to rely on runs rather than steady scoring, the total has a real chance to stay under the number. I’m expecting a methodical first half and a tighter second half than the market anticipates.

📌 Official Picks
