This year’s Texas Tech basketball team falls short of the 2018-2019 team.

After the Texas Tech basketball team got smoked by Baylor in the regular season finale, attention immediately turned to postseason play. The Big 12 tournament is important, of course, but all eyes will be on the NCAA tournament, as the Red Raiders will be making their first appearance in the Big Dance since falling agonizingly short of a national title in 2019.
