The Texas Tech basketball program’s 2021-22 nonconference schedule continues to come together. On Wednesday, it was announced that the Red Raiders would host Mississippi State in the next installment of the Big 12/SEC Challenge on January 29th.
Held annually on the weekend before the Super Bowl when there are no football games to televise, this trumped-up showdown between the Big 12 and the SEC is intended to get the minds of sports fans back on college hoops as the NFL season draws to a close.
