Texas Tech has been towards the top of the Big 12 all season long. For a long time, the Red Raiders were undefeated in the Big 12 and seemed to look like they were unstoppable. They fell back down to Earth a little and now have settled into the top five of the Big 12.
Kansas State played Texas Tech early in Big 12 play and it was a heartbreaker for the Wildcats. It was hard fought defensive battle between the two teams and the Red Raiders had a got the one-point win over the Wildcats.
While Texas Tech has been up and down towards the end of the season, I think they will pull it together once they hit tournament play. Texas Tech is a team that can come to form and at the right time and that is why Kansas State does not want to see in the Big 12 Tournament.
