There’s quite a bit that goes into winning a conference title and unfortunately, for many teams in the Big 12 this year, the one factor that is beyond their control is taking a toll on their championship hopes. Injuries are wreaking havoc on the league this year and depleting the roster of a number of contenders but if the Texas Tech basketball team is going to bring home its first conference title, it must stay healthy.
While any team will suffer if a key injury hits, the Red Raiders may be the Big 12 contender most likely to be unable to overcome an injury.
