After losing to Kansas 78-75 in Lawrence on Saturday, the Texas Tech basketball team is just 13-8 on the year. But that is a misleading record. In fact, this might be the best team to ever enter the first week of February with eight losses.
The problem is that the current version of the Red Raiders just can’t seem to get over the hump in big moments. That was true again inside Allen Fieldhouse when Tech had a chance to tie the game in the final 15 seconds but was unable to do so.
In all, Tech has lost only three games by double-digits, against Iowa in Las Vegas (72-61), at TCU (65-54), and at TCU (64-54).
