It’s a good thing that the team opposing the Texas Tech basketball team today will be wearing burnt orange. That’s because, if it were another opponent with a losing Big 12 record and not a hated rival set to provide the resistance this afternoon, this could be a classic trap game.
Next week, the Red Raiders will be back in the national spotlight twice as they take on the top two teams in the nation, No. 1 Baylor on Monday and No. 2 Kansas on Saturday. Both of those games will have the attention of the nation but before then, this team had better give Texas its full attention today.
