Texas Tech basketball: Why this Red Raider team is so inconsistent

It feels like every time this year’s Texas Tech basketball team takes two steps forward, it turns right around and takes one step back. That’s what we’ve seen on display in the last week.

After dominating Iowa State by 30 points on Saturday to hand the Cyclones their worst loss ever at Hilton Coliseum, Chris Beard’s team turned about three days later and laid the season’s biggest egg in Oklahoma City. In a 65-51 loss to Oklahoma, the Red Raiders never led and never threatened the Sooners.

Kevin McCullar had 13 points and Chris Clarke had 11 as the only Red Raiders in double-digits on the scoreboard.
