After weeks of speculation from fans, media members and so-called bracketology “experts”, the NCAA Tournament field is finally set. Texas Tech is the No. 3 seed in the East region and will open with a matchup against Stephen F. Austin Thursday night in Dallas. Let’s break down the Red Raiders’ draw in the tournament.
Due Respect
For once, Texas Tech fans can’t claim to be disrespected by the powers that be. The Red Raiders have earned the highest seeding in school history (tied with the 1996 team) despite losing five of the team’s last seven games.
Furthermore, Texas Tech is seeded higher than West Virginia, which beat Texas Tech twice this season, including Friday night in the Big 12 Tournament.
