00:00 the best team and in the Big 12, Texas Tech entered with a five in one conference record,
00:09 but TCU following a triple overtime win on the road against Baylor this weekend was looking
00:15 to keep good things rolling. The Horned Frogs, a four and a half point home favorite against
00:21 Texas Tech and the Red Raiders, only their second loss in conference play, 85 78 TCU
00:29 and Jamie Dixon cover as a four and a half point home favorite. Texas Tech lost this
00:35 basketball game, Ben. We're going to go over this the second, but obviously you saw one
00:38 of those numbers we talked about yesterday. We see this all the time. 25th ranked team
00:43 going up against the 15th ranked team, best team in conference play, Texas Tech. Oh, they're
00:47 favoring this game. No, they're not. It's TCU minus five and a half and they did win
00:50 in cover, but let's get the crystal ball out, Ben, and have some fun in this basketball
00:54 game. Hey, Ben, you know what? This game isn't over, but I'm going to tell you, you're going
00:58 to go on the road is Texas Tech and shoot over 50% from the floor as a team. You're
01:02 also going to shoot exactly 50% from three point range, and that doesn't mean you went
01:05 Ben to a four from three point range. They went 14 of 28 from three point range, shut
01:11 over 50% as I said, as a team from the floor and still lost this basketball game, which
01:15 shows how impressive that win for TCU actually was and the depth that this conference has.
01:20 And we weren't surprised when we saw that spread that TC was favored here at home, because
01:25 as we keep saying in those upper level, you know, power five conferences, it's so hard
01:29 to win on the road and it is a bloodbath on a night to night basis in the big 12 when
01:33 top ranked teams on the road and get upset when it wasn't even an upset yesterday.
01:38 Because as we said, forget about the ranking. TCU is favored by close to six points in this
01:42 game, but that's a crazy way to lose when you go back to the tape and say, yeah, we
01:46 should have played better defense. But my goodness, how did we lose with these offensive
01:50 statistics here? Watch out in the big 12 year, but that's a nice one by TCU that gets
01:53 them back in the race in the big 12 for the regular season.
