Texas Tech is known for its physical defense and half-court execution, often slowing the game down and forcing opponents into difficult possessions. That style has translated well in March in past years, making them a tough out.
Akron enters as a confident mid-major with a balanced offensive attack and the ability to score from beyond the arc. If the Zips can knock down shots and avoid turnovers, they could challenge Texas Techβs defensive pressure.
