TEXAS TECH RED RAIDERS

The 22nd ranked, in the AP Top 25 Poll, the Texas Tech Red Raiders are on the right track of turning the program around. Led by head coach Chris Beard, the Red Raiders look to be a threat to the Jayhawks stellar run.

Recently, the Red Raiders sat at the bottom of the Big 12 standings, but Beard and his staff turned the team into a top-25 caliber roster. The game of basketball is once again becoming interesting to those in Lubbock.

Three players averaging more than ten points per game, the Red Raiders own a deep, and talented roster. The thin Jayhawks may struggle with keeping up with them, but it appears the Jayhawks still own the edge of talented players.

The Jayhawks look to the Red Raiders as a good program, but the Jayhawks are easily the better team. Expect the Jayhawks to take care of business against Texas Tech.
