It doesn’t seem that long ago, but it was eight months ago that Texas Tech was eliminated in the Statesboro Regional Final against Notre Dame, who then went on to stun the top seeded Tennessee Volunteers on their way to Omaha.
Another thing you might have forgotten: Last year was considered somewhat of a “down year” for Tech Baseball. There were some head scratching losses at times, paired with some injury issues in the bullpen, and the Red Raiders still managed to only finish one game back of Big 12 Champion TCU.
Oklahoma ended up in the National Championship, riding a two-and-a-half month hot streak unlike anything I’ve ever seen, and UT made it to Omaha before being the first team eliminated.
