It’s time. The NCAA Tournament has begun and this team is ready to go. I’ve dusted off my basketball preview skills so let’s get rolling. The 3rd seeded Texas Tech Red Raiders have traveled to Tulsa to face the winner of the Horizon League Tournament, the 14th seeded Northern Kentucky Norse. Both of these teams have earned the right to be here, Texas Tech for the second season in a row, Northern Kentucky for the first time since 2017. There will be tons of talent on the floor Friday afternoon so let’s dive in.
The Norse won their conference tournament to be here, that includes a win over favorite and defending champion Wright State.
