Today, an elimination game in the Big 12 regular season race will take place in Lubbock. The Texas Tech basketball team enters tied with Kansas for second place in the league at 9-4, one game behind Kansas State with just five games to go in the regular season.
And while the loser will not be mathematically eliminated, it is hard to see either of these teams making up two games on the Wildcats over the final two weeks of the season, especially given KSU’s favorable schedule. What’s more, Tech could essentially put to bed one of the most impressive streaks in sports by beating the Jayhawks.
