Winning a championship in any sport always requires a combination of preparation, ability and good fortune. No team knows that better than the Texas Tech basketball team which saw a key injury to its star Keenan Evans derail a potential Big 12 title run last year. But this year, the overwhelming favorite to win the league, No. 7 Kansas, has been hit with tremendous misfortune giving the Red Raiders a golden opportunity to win the first Big 12 championship in their history.
Sunday, it was revealed that the Jayhawks’ star center Udoka Azubuike has torn ligaments in his wrist requiring surgery that will cost him the remainder of the season.
