NCAA TOURNAMENT

WEST REGIONAL FINAL

TEXAS TECH vs. FLORIDA

TEXAS TECH OVER 71.5 POINTS

Florida ranks No. 3 in the nation in scoring. The Gators average over 85 points per game. Florida is also No. 2 in Offensive Efficiency. Their trio of guards led by Walter Clayton Jr. is probably the best in the country. They are definitely better than Arkansas' guards who ripped up Texas Tech's defense on Thursday night. Florida will definitely put a lot of pressure on the Red Raiders' defense.

On the other end of the floor, the Red Raiders are going to have to keep up with the Gators. Texas Tech has the offense to do so. Led by JT Toppin, the Red Raiders are actually 7th in the nation in Offensive Efficiency averaging 1.171 points per possession. Texas Tech ranks No. 23 in scoring, averaging nearly 81 points per game. Tonight, the Red Raiders are projected to score in the mid 70s.

ose projections are why I like Texas Tech's team total. The Red Raiders have scored at least 76 points in 8 straight games. One of those was the 77-64 win over Drake, one of the nation's best defenses, in the second round of the tournament.

The last time Texas Tech didn't reach 70 points was February. The Red Raiders opponent was Houston, which has the best defense in the country. Texas Tech tries to keep up with Florida tonight and pushes its team total Over this number.
