RALEIGH, N.C. — Toward the end of September, Toddrick Gotcher sat in a chair the lobby of the United Supermarkets Arena as he discussed what he saw from his teammates during their Canadian Foreign Tour back in August.
The Red Raiders went 4-0 against their opponents up north. Freshmen Jordan Jackson and C.J. Williamson fared well for their first times in Texas Tech uniforms. The group of sophomores seemed more confident in the system. Junior Aaron Ross looked like a different person as he was finally fully healthy.
When asked how that performance might shape the Red Raiders’ upcoming season, Gotcher didn’t pause before he stated his team’s postseason aspirations with confidence.
