Look, as Grant McCasland and the 5-seed Texas Tech Red Raiders get set to meet up with Nate Oats and the 4-seed Alabama Crimson Tide, we’re about to see a fascinating matchup between two teams that are pretty similar in a number of ways.
Both of these teams won comfortably in the opening round (each win was by 20 points, by the way) and both of these teams are winning with relative ease on a very regular basis (Texas Tech shows up with a +8.2 scoring margin for the season while Alabama has a +8.0 scoring margin).
And both of these teams are very comfortable with scoring plenty of points frequently.
