Despite two consecutive losses in Big 12 play, the Texas Tech men’s basketball team is still in the hunt for its first NCAA Tournament birth since 2007. In fact, ESPN college basketball analyst, Joe Lunardi who weekly releases a full tournament bracket of his own compilation, has Texas Tech in the tournament were it to begin today.
According to Lunardi’s latest “bracketology” piece Texas Tech is an 8th seed in the Eastern bracket of the tournament. In this hypothetical scenario, Lunardi has the Red Raiders taking on the ninth seed Florida for the right to play the top seed in the East, Maryland.
