For the first time in five weeks, the Texas Tech basketball team rose in the rankings after checking in at No. 15 in both the Associated Press and Coaches Poll on Monday. The three-spot jump is the first time the Red Raiders have risen in the national polls since since January 7th when Tech rose to No. 8 after starting Big 12 play 2-0 with wins over West Virginia and Kansas State.
Tech is the second-highest ranked of the four Big 12 teams in this week’s polls. Kansas is at No. 14 in both polls while Kansas State sits at No.
