Texas will try to find some points against a great Texas Tech defense
Michael C. Johnson-USA TODAY SportsAfter taking a mid-week loss against the Oklahoma State Cowboys in Stillwater, the Texas Longhorns don’t have much time to regroup. Shaka Smart’s team faces the No. 8 Texas Tech Red Raiders (14-1) in Austin, with a chance to pick up a win against one of the top teams in the Big 12.
Texas Tech had a breakthrough season for the program last year, winning 27 games and making a deep NCAA tournament run. But after the season was over, head coach Chris faced a tough situation, losing a huge and important senior class as well as breakout freshman Zhaire Smith.
