Texas Tech Red Raiders vs Kansas State Wildcats Analysis
The Texas Red Raiders would probably like to have more time to prepare for Big 12 play. Texas Tech was 10-2 in non conference play and lost to Ohio State and Creighton. However, the non-conference schedule was not favorable for Texas Tech.
Since the Raiders launched Big 12 competition, it’s been all downhill. Tech opened conference play with six difficult games. This included five ranked opponents and an Oklahoma team that was ranked 38th by KenPom’s NCAA rating.
After its upset of Kansas, Kansas State now sits tied at the top of the Big 12 conference standings. Although the Wildcats were underrated throughout the season, they won’t be forgotten. K-State now needs to show it can think like the “hunted”, instead of the “hunter”.
Halftime saw the Wildcats leading by 44 to 39, but they needed overtime to defeat their rival in-state. KSU was outshot by KU from the field, but KU didn’t do as well from behind the arc. The Jayhawks missed 23 out of 29 three-point attempts (20.7%), while KSU converted 7 of 17 threes (41.2%).
