For the first time since entering the top 25 back in week four of the season, the Texas Tech basketball team saw its ranking take a significant hit in the latest national polls. After dropping games to unranked foes Iowa State and Baylor last week, the Red Raiders sit at No. 14 in the Associated Press Poll (down six spots) and No. 13 in the Coaches’ Poll (down four spots).
The drop is similar to what the Red Raiders experienced last season when Tech fell six spots in the rankings after back-to-back losses at Baylor and Oklahoma State.
