Texas Tech basketball falls two spots in this week’s polls

Apparently college basketball voters find a road loss to Kansas State more impactful than a home win over Arkansas. That’s what the Texas Tech basketball team learned Monday when the Red Raiders dropped two spots in both national polls after falling to the Wildcats last Tuesday and beating the Razorbacks on Saturday.

Tech is currently No. 16 in the Associated Press top 25 and No. 15 in the Coaches Poll. The top four spots in both polls remained unchanged with Tennessee, Duke, Virginia and Gonzaga sitting at 1-4 respectively. Michigan rounds out the top 5 in both polls after moving up one place in the Coaches Poll.
