Wednesday morning, it was announced that Texas Tech had agreed to play college basketball blue blood program Duke at Madison Square Garden this December. There had been rumors of Tech playing a big name opponent next season and seeing this type of match-up surely brought a smile to many Red Raiders.
At first glance, this game seems like a good non-conference match-up between two teams that went to the Elite 8 last season. Truly it’s nothing more than a way for two programs to bolster their non-conference strength of schedule and gauge where they stand at that point of the season.
