- No significant injuries reported for either team that would impact this game materially.
- The game is played in Lubbock on Texas Techβs home court, a notable advantage. Weather and travel conditions do not seem to be an issue.
- Texas Tech, ranked No. 20, is motivated to maintain national standing and capitalize on home advantage. New Orleans aims to prove resilience and improve its road record.
