Projection: likely out
Texas Tech has secured a series of convincing wins against weaker opponents, but their record against teams in the top tiers raises concerns. The narrow loss to St. Joseph's and the defeats against Texas A&M and UCF highlight vulnerabilities, especially when facing stronger competition. Upcoming games against Iowa State and Kansas will be critical; winning even one of these could bolster their standing significantly. However, if they falter against teams like Arizona or Houston, it may hinder their tournament chances. The overall strength of the Big 12 will test Texas Tech’s resolve and execution in the coming weeks, making these matchups paramount for their postseason aspirations.
