Projection: likely out
Texas Tech's resume raises concerns, particularly with a weak performance against St. Joseph's, where they suffered an embarrassing loss that could weigh heavily on their tournament chances. Their overall record features several decisively won games against lower-ranked teams, but the lack of significant wins against higher-tier competition reveals vulnerabilities. Upcoming games against Iowa State and Oklahoma State will be crucial; a strong showing could bolster their case, but losses in those matchups would further jeopardize their positioning. Their defense, ranking considerably lower than their offense, suggests they might struggle against more potent attacks, particularly when facing schools like Arizona and Kansas later in the season.
