<h2>
Reasons To Back Texas Tech:<br />
</h2>
<p>
Championing the mantra that defense win championships, the Red Raiders bring a talented unit to the table that has so far undermined every opponent it has come across. The Dueling Desperados own the third-ranked scoring defense in America (58.7 points per game) and have held all three opponents they have squared off to under this average. This narrative includes deposing a Buffalo squad that sat fourth in scoring previous to their Second Round clash. The Red Raiders are also the best team in the country in lowering opponent field goal percentage as they allow the opposition to hit a salty 36.7%. One can bet that Tech is licking its chops to lock horns with Gonzaga’s nation-leading offense.

<h2>
Reasons To Avoid Gonzaga:<br />
</h2>
<p>
The Zags as mention own the best scoring offense in America (88.2 points per game), and they are also the best shooting team in the country possessing a field goal efficiency of 52.8%. It is pretty certain that the Bulldogs will not be producing those kinds of numbers against this stingy Red Raiders defense. The question is what the Zags will do should this game devolve to a defensive affair. However, given the fact this team had a lot of hype surrounding it as a top seed in the tourney takers will be paying to back their name here even if the match-up is not in their favor.
