This team is terrible for my blood pressure.
Tonight's opponent, seemingly destined to be a neck and neck matchup, was the Texas Tech Red Raiders. As we saw in the first matchup between these two teams, nothing comes easy against Tech and their hyperagressive defense. Tonight was no exception as Tech made Kansas work for just about everything they got, while doing just enough offensively to keep KU from ever feeling totally comfortable.
The teams traded 5-0 runs in less than four minutes to start. That's not exactly an offensive explosion by either team, but given Tech's rock fight style of play, it felt like off to the races.
