As the No. 3 seed in the East bracket, Texas Tech Basketball appears to have one of the least daunting paths to the Final Four of any team in the 2018 NCAA Tournament. The East bracket is not stacked with elite teams filled with lottery picks. Instead, it seems full of solid, fundamentally-sound squads that have a lot of toughness but not much firepower. There’s plenty of reason for Tech to be confident heading into the first round of the tournament this week.
That being said, college basketball is ‘win or go home’ in March, and the Red Raiders aren’t approaching any game lightly.
