Texas Tech starts the season off against the High Point Panthers tonight at 8:00 PM at the United Supermarkets Arena. While High Point isn't a powerhouse, they are a good team. Last season the Panthers were co-Big South regular season champions. High Point finished with a record of 23-10 (13-5) and was bounced in the second round of the CollegeInsider.com Tournament by Eastern Kentucky. The Panthers do return key components of their roster from last year.
