For the third straight week the No. 6 Texas Longhorns are playing on Big Monday, this time in Lubbock against the Texas Tech Red Raiders.
Despite a 2-10 conference record this season under second-year head coach Mark Adams, the Red Raiders are 10-4 at United Supermarkets Arena, including two upsets in Big 12 play — an 80-77 overtime win over the then-No. 13 Cyclones and a 71-63 victory over the then-No. 12 Wildcats on Saturday.
So Texas Tech remains a dangerous team at home in addition to playing Texas tight last month in a 72-70 win for the Longhorns that necessitated overcoming a 12-point deficit.
