Texas Tech basketball fans now know every team on the 2018-19 schedule (with the exception of the second game in the Hall of Fame Classic in Kansas City). While we still do not have the Big 12 portion of the schedule, Tech released its non-conference slate of games on Friday.
The non-conference portion of this year’s hoops schedule is a huge step up in competition from last year’s non-conference games. Tech will face Duke, Memphis, USC, Arkansas and either Nebraska or Missouri State in the second game of the Hall of Fame Classic.
But while fans will enjoy seeing more marquee out-of-conference games, there is a drawback to this year’s non-conference schedule.
