Beating the No. 22 ranked Texas Tech Red Raiders proved that the Texas basketball program is on a good path under the direction of head coach Shaka Smart at the moment. Texas won their fourth straight game by taking down head coach Chris Beard and the Red Raiders on Feb. 29. This weekend proved to be the most crucial game of the season up to this point for the men in burnt orange on the hardwood.
Now that the Texas Longhorns basketball program has moved one step closer to 20 wins on the season, they can start to prove that they belong in the NCAA Tournament conversation.
