Tonight, the No. 11 Texas Tech basketball team returns to the court, albeit an unfamiliar one, looking to remain perfect on the season. But with a showdown against No. 2 Duke looming and a special event to close out the Lubbock Municipal Coliseum tonight, the Red Raiders’ focus will be tested by a sneaky-good Abilene Christian team.
The Wildcats arrive looking to spoil the farewell to the former home of Texas Tech basketball and pull off one last upset in a venue that has seen more than its share. At 9-1 overall, ACU is off to the program’s best start since moving up to Division I in 2013-14.
