The resurgence of Texas Tech basketball has become the story of the year in the Big 12 (Unless you count Kansas’ 12th consecutive regular season conference title as a big deal. I don’t because it happens every year just like the sun comes up every day, no one writes stories about that.) Now, Big 12 Coach of the Year Tubby Smith leads his team into the Big 12 Tournament in Kansas City riding a wave of momentum but he must make sure that his young players avoid a trap game tonight.
On the surface, it appears that there is little for the Texas Tech basketball team to gain this week.
