Texas Tech Basketball beat all odds last season en route to breaking Kansas’ record of consecutive regular-season Big 12 Championships. Here is why it’ll happen again.
Heading into the 2019-20 season, Texas Tech Basketball and Kansas Basketball come in on very different notes.
For the Red Raiders, this season will be played with a much different looking roster. This current Red Raider squad will return just one starter from last season’s Championship Game team but also brings in a great recruiting class and a pair of impact transfers.
For the Jayhawks, they return most of a pretty disappointing 2018-19 squad, however, this time adding a pair of players who missed mostly all of last season, as well as one of the country’s top transfers.
However, it is Kansas that is getting all of the attention. Several major media outlets have the Jayhawks as the preseason number one team thanks to a starting five that features big names such as Devon Dotson, Udoka Azubuike and Silvio de Souza.
It seems as if the Red Raiders work better when the spotlight is off of them. They seemingly came out of nowhere to win the Big 12 last season, still being underseeded in the tournament before coming up a Jarrett Culver three-pointer away from winning the National Championship.
Things might look a little different in Lubbock, but I still like the way that they look, and that is why I think that the Red Raiders will be better than the Jayhawks this upcoming season. Want exact reasoning? Here are three reasons why.
