Remember 1996? That was the year Tupac was gunned down in Las Vegas, the movie Independence Day was the top-grossing movie in the world, the Dallas Cowboys won Super Bowl XXX and the fist Big 12 football game took place as the Red Raiders lost to Kansas State 21-14. That year also marked a significant moment in Texas Tech basketball history as the Red Raiders beat the Longhorns in Austin, something that has not happened in the 23 years since.
Saturday, the No. 8 Red Raiders have an opportunity to put an end to one of the most frustrating and ugly streaks in program history.
