Can the Defense Rise to the Occasion and Change the Fate of the Big 12 Showdown?

Texas Tech is ranked as the 16th best team in the nation at the moment. They are 18-6 with a decent 8-3 mark in the Big 12. This is a competitive conference, so even the three losses are nothing to sneeze at. This isn’t exactly a program that I’m confident in backing to win the NCAA Tournament, but I do think, depending on how the matchups shake out that they could be a bit of a surprise. Their losses this season have been mostly understandable. They dropped their first game to Illinois on the road by four points. They were rocked by Purdue on a neutral court (it was a 30 point loss). Then they fell to Arkansas, also a neutral court game. These were all of the non-conference losses. The next three were against Houston, who they’ve also beaten, UCF and Kansas. Kansas has been playing very well lately, so that isn’t much of a surprise. And, yes, that is one of the three games Kansas has gotten me on.
