Most Texas Tech fans will be quick to tell you that the national media seems to undervalue the Red Raiders in almost every sport. Such was the case with this year’s Texas Tech basketball team which was unranked in the national preseason polls and picked to finish 7th in the Big 12 before the season started. This despite fielding a team with five seniors and four players that helped lead the team to the NCAA Tournament two seasons ago.
Fortunately, the pundits were wrong and Texas Tech surprised most of the nation by putting together a season which saw the Red Raiders finish second in the Big 12 and climb to No.
