Texas Tech basketball: Streaking Red Raiders try to make program history
Owners of an eight-game winning streak, the red-hot Texas Tech basketball team visits Ames, Iowa on Saturday to take on the Iowa State Cyclones for a Big 12 title.
With Kansas two games back and just one conference game left, the Jayhawks will not win or share the regular season title for the first time since 2004. But while many have been predicting that streak to come to an end for most of the year (especially after the injury to KU center Udoka Azubuike) hardly anyone thought it would be the Red Raiders that would dethrone the Jayhawks. Yet with one more win, the team picked to finish 7th in the Big 12 preseason poll will be crowned champions.
