ANALYSIS:
While this site doesn't quite consider them to be in the national title hunt, Texas Tech has the potential to be a formidable opponent for many in Division I. Carrying a record of 19-13, they are currently rated #51 overall (out of 351) in All-Play Percentage this season. They are also ranked by this site as the #7 team (out of 10) in the Big 12 (average ranking 45.0). With a strength-of-schedule rating of 0.740 (which ranks 11th nationally), Texas Tech is one of the more battle-tested teams in the college game.

Texas Tech succeeds primarily through their offense. They are ranked 34th in offensive efficiency and score in excess of 111 points every 100 possessions vs. AO. Texas Tech does a really good job to acquire opportunities from the free throw line. With a free throw attempt rate of 32.60 vs. AO, they are ranked 37th in the nation at getting to the charity stripe. In addition, the team is in the top-50 in free throw shooting, converting a solid 73.9% of their attempts. Texas Tech is also one of the better teams in the country when it comes to converting scoring chances off of offensive rebounds. Against AO, the team successfully converts 8.6% of all second-chance opportunities (ranked 43rd nationally).

Texas Tech plays at roughly the same level defensively as they do offensively. The team ranks 81st nationally in defensive efficiency, allowing about 98 points every 100 trips upcourt vs. AO. Texas Tech has been able to successfully prevent opponents from making shots between the three-point stripe and the low post. They're ranked 45th in Division I in defensive mid-range field goal percentage, allowing AO to make good on only 32.6% of their attempts from that distance. Texas Tech has also been pretty good preventing teams from hitting shots in the paint. They are ranked 59th in the country in defensive near-proximity percentage, allowing AO to make good on only 55.5% of their attempts from close-up.

Texas Tech has definitely not been as efficient as of late compared to earlier in the season and, consequently, the team is nationally ranked 331st in positive momentum. When playing on the road, Texas Tech performs somewhat worse than they normally do on their home court. The club is nationally ranked 322nd in our site's away-from-home metric.
