The Texas Tech basketball program will take yet another step in its journey towards being one of the nation’s marquee attractions on Saturday when it is featured in the premier game of the Big 12/SEC Challenge. Hosting No. 15 Kentucky, the winningest program in the history of the sport is a great opportunity for Red Raider basketball to put its best foot forward on the national scene once again.
All-time, Tech is 0-4 against the Wildcats. That includes the only trip UK has made to Lubbock, an 89-73 loss to the No. 10 Wildcats in 1965. The last time these programs squared off was in 1994 when the Cats prevailed 83-68 in Cincinnati, Ohio.
