Kansas vs. Texas Tech: College Basketball Best Bets, Picks & Predictions (Tuesday)
In our New Year’s Eve article, we accurately predicted UConn’s first loss to Xavier, and the Huskies’ 14-game winning streak to start the season abruptly ended. Now there are just two unbeaten teams left in Division I, and one of them takes the court today as New Mexico faces Fresno State in a late 11:00 p.m. ET tip.
Here are our best bets for Tuesday’s college basketball action. And here’s a closer look at Kansas vs. Texas Tech.

Top College Basketball Betting Odds, Picks & Predictions: Kansas vs. Texas Tech
Kansas dodged a bullet at home over the weekend, coming back from a 15-point second-half deficit to beat Oklahoma State. The Jayhawks have won six of their last seven meetings with Texas Tech, and while the teams have split their previous four meetings in Lubbock, this year’s Red Raiders team is not as talented as those we had gotten accustomed to under Chris Beard recently. Texas Tech is 0-3 in its three games against top-150 KenPom opponents, losing by an average of eight points to Creighton, Ohio State, and TCU. The Jayhawks are one of five teams that rank in the top 14 of both offensive and defensive efficiency, and that is a formula that should travel well to a tough road environment.
The Red Raiders are 0-5-1 in their last six games against teams with a winning percentage above .600, and we expect that to translate in another outright loss tonight.
Bet: Kansas ML (-140 at DraftKings)
