No surprise here. Need to get some Big 12 wins soon and get back in the conversation.
Texas Tech: Out
I am not sure why this team is in the rankings. Well, I can guess. Texas Tech was in last year's Final Four and the Red Raiders have a win over Louisville. The rest of their tournament resume is hardly impressive. Texas Tech is 12-7 after its loss to Kentucky, but 1-7 vs teams in Quadrant 1. So, no bad losses is good, but that's a pretty poor record against the best competition. After that, it has just three other wins outside of Q4 – Iowa State and Oklahoma State at home, and at Kansas State. That is two Q2 wins and one in Q3. Pickings would have to be really slim for team with these measly credentials to make the field.
