Texas vs. Texas Tech prediction
Texas Tech and Texas are both red-hot coming into this game on March 24. Texas Tech looked really good in its weekend series against a good Oklahoma State squad last weekend, including a massive 12-run outburst in the series finale on March 19.
But the Longhorns are one of the hottest teams in the Big 12 in the last couple of weeks, doing exactly what it needed to do to get back on track after a cold start to the regular season.
With both offenses on fire of late, it feels like this weekend’s series will largely be determined by the pitching performances. Texas needs the likes of Lucas Gordon, Travis Sthele, etc., to come up big for the Longhorns to take this series.

If the Longhorns can set the tone on March 24, that will go a long way to showing that this team is really righting the ship against the No. 14 ranked team in the country in Texas Tech.
