Sports Illustrated posted its preseason basketball rankings today. Pretty good respect for Tech at No. 15.
But, of course, that will only get you sixth in the Big 12: 2. Houston. 3. Kansas. 6. Iowa State. 9. Baylor. 11. Arizona.
I've added the link which may be behind a paywall, but here's the short capsule on Tech:

15. Texas Tech Red Raiders (6th in Big 12)
Consider me a believer in what Grant McCasland is doing at Texas Tech. The Red Raiders added one of the top point guards (Elijah Hawkins) and bigs (JT Toppin) in the portal, cornerstone pieces to play next to returners Chance McMillian and Darrion Williams. TTU hasn’t gotten the same attention that the top-tier Big 12 squads have gotten this offseason, but don’t be surprised if they crash that party come conference play.https://www.si.com/college-basketba...rom-1-alabama-to-364-mississippi-valley-state
