Moving on from the Hudson news
Texas Tech Basketball has a big week on tap

Tech currently #20 in KenPom as of Yesterday's update
7-0 Depaul coming to the LBK midweek
Then headed to Fort Worth on Sunday to take on the damn Aggies

Depaul 8:15pm Wednesday - ESPNU (Big East/Big 12 Challenge)
Depaul isnt as good as their record, #99 in KenPom
They haven't played any names yet so you are their first real test
However, they can really shoot it
Tech is currently 9th in the country in 3 point percentage
Depaul is only 2 spots back of that at #11
Another trap-ish game like St. Joes if you dont come ready or get off to a slow start

#20 Texas A&M 2:00pm Sunday - ESPN2
Hate to admit it, but the Aggies are decent and at #27 in KenPom
They are a bit up and down at times but they are extremely athletic
They have played a legit schedule so far and have beaten Ohio State, Creighton and Rutgers
They have lost to UCF and Oregon
And they still play a solid Wake Forest team before they get to you Sunday
Hard to know exactly how good they are but, they are gonna be a real challenge
And frankly, you need that win badly

This is it though, you have only 4 games left until you open conference play vs UCF on New Years Eve
Really not a fan of this non-con schedule this year, especially looking at the Aggies going out and getting battle tested
We have to do better with challenging ourselves in the non-con @Robert G or whoever needs to hear it

You really need to go 2-0 this week and have something on your resume before Big 12 play starts
Sunday is a big game particularly and not just because its those weirdos from College Station

Ill let @chaseallen_44 do the full player breakdown, but some good tests this week as we wrap up the non-con slate
