With the 2015-16 Texas Tech basketball season now complete, hindsight allows for an analysis of the season’s defining moments. Today we look at defining moment No. 2, Texas Tech’s victory over Texas in the Big 12 opener.
Whether it is in checkers, tick-tac-toe, or bullfrog relay races, anytime one loses 14 of 15 contests to the same opponent doubt is sure to set in. That was the case when Texas Tech hosted the Texas Longhorns on January 2, 2016 for the Big 12 opener.
Though the Red Raiders had built fantastic momentum during its 10-game winning streak, there was certainly doubt amongst the fan base and likely the team (though none on the squad would ever admit it) about whether or not the Texas Tech basketball team was ready to compete with the Longhorns.
