Texas Tech has a tournament resume that speaks to a team ready to make some noise come March. Their ability to pull off convincing victories against BYU and Kansas, both of whom have had solid seasons, underscores their potential. Additionally, their performance within the highly competitive Big 12, evidenced by wins over Texas and Baylor, shows that they can compete with quality opponents. While losses to TCU and UCF might raise some eyebrows, their ability to bounce back and beat those same teams in rematches demonstrates resilience and adaptability. However, heavy losses to Houston in both meetings reveal some vulnerability against top-tier teams. The Red Raiders' blend of tough defense and capable offense will give them a fighting chance against most opponents, but for them to make a deep run, they'll need to show they can consistently bring the same intensity they’ve displayed in their key victories.
