We’ve been spoiled by the Texas Tech basketball team over the past three years. Going a combined 33-3 in the portion of the schedule that precedes the beginning of Big 12 play during the start of the Chris Beard era, perhaps the Red Raiders gave us a sense that life in the first two months of the college basketball season was supposed to be relatively easy.
This year, we are being reminded that no game should be taken for granted. Already, Tech has lost three games this season and given that No. 1 Louisville is next on the schedule, it appears as if a 4-game slide could be in the works.
