Last year, the Texas Tech basketball made some early-season noise on the national scene by winning the Hall of Fame Tip-Off Tournament in Connecticut. Tonight, they have an opportunity to do the same when they take on Nebraska in the finals of the Hal of Fame Classic in Kansas City.
Both the Red Raiders and the Corn Huskers are coming off impressive wins on Monday night. Tech took care of USC 78-63 while Nebraska dispatched of Missouri State 85-62.
If Chris Beard’s team can take down their former Big 12 rival, they could find themselves ranked in the top 25 polls just like they did following last year’s 85-49 drubbing of No.
