The end of a decade is a natural time for fans to spend some time reminiscing and for Texas Tech basketball fans, the last 10 years have been a rather wild ride. That’s because this truly was a decade of two varying eras.
When the calendar flipped to 2010, the second-semester of Pat Knight’s best season brought Tech to a 19-16 overall record and a trip to the NIT quarterfinals. But a 4-12 conference record put Tech just 9th in the12-team Big 12…remember when the Big 12 had 12 teams?
A year later, the Knight era of Tech basketball ended after a 13-19 season and 10th-place conference showing.
