Here we are. The much anticipated showdown between the No. 6 Texas Tech Red Raiders (22-6, 10-5) and the No. 8 Kansas Jayhawks (22-6, 11-4) is right around the corner. ESPN GameDay will be in Lubbock broadcasting live and the atmosphere of the game should be electric.
Unfortunately, a little luster has been taken off the sheen. When the GameDay event was announced last Friday, Tech was in first place and one game ahead of second place Kansas. Fast forward two games and we now find Tech trailing Kansas by one game.
This game is still crucial for both teams but for different reasons than last week.
