Tonight, ESPN’s Big Monday returns to Lubbock for the first time since 2006 for a pivotal Big 12 showdown. The Texas Tech basketball team desperately needs to get back on track in the conference race having lost its last three league games to drop to 4-3 in the league race.
The Frogs are looking to pull even with the Red Raiders and take a critical step towards joining the group of conference title contenders. The Big 12 race is as tight as it could possibly be with Kansas and Kansas State tied at the top with 5-2 records, Baylor just a half-game back at 4-2 and Tech and Iowa State at 4-3 so the winner of tonight’s game will be right in the thick of the hunt.
