On Feb. 8, the Texas basketball program will take a long break in Big 12 play back home to the Forty Acres and the Frank Erwin Center to face head coach Chris Beard and the Texas Tech Red Raiders. The defending Big 12 Champions and national champion runner-ups aren’t having the year anticipated, but should still make for a difficult matchup for Texas this weekend.
Head coach Shaka Smart will have a true battle on his hands when the Red Raiders come to Austin on Saturday afternoon. Texas Tech comes into this game with a record of 14-8 (5-4 Big 12).
