Texas Tech vs. West Virginia Preview: Red Raiders Face Uphill Battle in Morgantown Without Tahj Brooks

Red Raiders Look to Rebound After Loss to Kansas

Texas Tech will look to rebound from a tough loss to Kansas when they travel to Morgantown to take on West Virginia on Wednesday night. The Red Raiders have lost two of their last three games and will be without leading scorer Tahj Brooks, who is out with an injury.

West Virginia is coming off a big win over Oklahoma and will be looking to continue their momentum. The Mountaineers are led by senior guard Kedrian Johnson, who is averaging 16.5 points per game.

Key Matchup: Kedrian Johnson vs. De'Vion Harmon

The key matchup in this game will be between Johnson and Harmon. Johnson is one of the best guards in the Big 12, while Harmon is a tough defender who can also score. Whoever wins this matchup will likely give their team the edge.

Prediction

This is a tough game to predict, as both teams are evenly matched. However, I think Texas Tech will be at a disadvantage without Brooks. I predict West Virginia will win a close game, 75-70.
