- West Virginia -130
- Spread: WVU -1.5

Bettors looking to wager on WVU or Texas Tech game should note that both teams have had their seasons affected by the pandemic.
Texas Tech had their last two contests postponed after TCU and Iowa State paused team activities due to the disease, while West Virginia had to pause themselves and postpone their last three games.
The break in action for WVU could result in some sloppy play on the court, but college basketball sportsbooks are still confident in the Mountaineers to get their first win over Texas Tech in 2021.
The teams split the series last season, with WVU winning the first matchup and TTU evening the series in the second meeting.

WVU will have their work cut out for them trying to shut down the dynamic attack of the Red Raiders. After missing their three games due to COVID, WVU was able to come out and take down Kansas State in their last matchup while forcing 28 turnovers.
They will need that same effort to hold steady and get a valuable win at home on Monday night.
