If you were to ask me last week what the ideal scenario for Big 12 basketball was, it would have involved TCU beating Texas and winning the NIT and Texas Tech winning the NCAA Tournament.
Well, none of that happened. Texas beat TCU and won the NIT, and Tech was on the end of one of the more heartbreaking title game losses in the new millennium. The basketball gods giveth, and the basketball gods, they taketh away.
Texas Tech: I feel bad for our tortilla-chucking, car-flipping, Old Town Road-listening brothers and sisters in Lubbock. The Red Raiders were oh-so-close to winning the Big 12’s first men’s basketball title since 2008.
