“Florida’s Fearless Charge: Can They Overcome the Red Raiders’ Biggest Challenge Yet?”
Texas Tech isn’t a team that I’ve covered much in the tournament, but they have quietly put together a nice run. Let’s start with their regular season. AT the end of the regular season campaign, the team was 24-7 with a strong 15-5 record in conference. They play in the Big 12 which is not my favorite conference, but still a decent one nonetheless. Their losses came against UCF, Iowa State, Arizona, TCU, and Houston. The most impressive victory on their schedule came against the Cougars though as well, heading into Houston and beating them by one point in overtime. Of the losses that the Red Raiders have taken in the regular season, they had a one-point loss, one by five points, another one-point, nine points, three points, and then eight points. In the Big 12 Tournament, they barely escaped Baylor before falling to Arizona by six points. The reason I bring this up is that they’ve at least been competitive in every game; not all schools can boast that. In the NCAA Tournament, they have faced UNC Wilmington, and won by 10. Then played Drake and won by 13. But the game against Arkansas was one they were losing almost the entire time, but somehow found a way to win.Â
