Though it isn’t pleasant, it’s time for Texas Tech basketball fans to accept the fact that their team is on the NCAA Tournament bubble. Having now dropped two-straight games after Saturday’s 68-58 loss to the Longhorns in Lubbock and set to face No. 2 Baylor and No. 1 Kansas to end the regular season next week, an NCAA Tournament bid is no longer a guarantee for Chris Beard and his team.
In fact, unless Tech can pull off an upset of a top-5 team next week, the Red Raiders will head into the Big 12 Tournament on a four-game losing streak.
