Texas Tech is no doubt the surprise of the Big 12, and has climbed all the way up to 7th in KenPom after a beatdown of Baylor on Saturday (though it should be mentioned Baylor was without Jo Lual Acuil). I think it’s fair to say, though, that KenPom is overrating Tech a little bit due to the Raiders beating the hell out of bad teams. KenPom has consistently struggled with how to handle giant beatdowns of bad teams, and Tech has played more games against sub-300 teams (4) than top 50 teams (3).
The offense, currently ranked 32nd nationally, is probably legit.
