Saturday afternoon, the Texas Tech basketball team will have the opportunity to avenge its only home loss of the 2018-19 season when Iowa State comes to Lubbock. The last time coach Steve Prohm brought his team to United Supermarkets Arena, we witnessed one of the most frustrating contests of the Chris Beard era.
In last January’s 68-64 loss to ISU, Tech shot a dismal 6-15 at the free-throw line and 6-18 from deep. That was eerily reminiscent of the only home loss the team has suffered since, the 57-52 defeat against Baylor earlier this month in which Tech was 5-12 at the line and 7-23 from 3-point range.
