Texas Tech's Big Twelve Run Ends, Eyes on NCAA

Texas Techs mens basketball team, ranked sixteenth, lost to Iowa State in the Big Twelve Tournament, ending their season-long streak of being in the AP Top twenty-five. Despite four wins against top-ten teams, the Red Raiders struggled without star forward JT Toppin, who was sidelined by an ACL tear. Iowa States defense dominated, limiting Texas Tech to a seventy-five to fifty-three loss. Coach Grant McCasland attributed the defeat to his teams inability to sustain energy and the absence of Toppins leadership. Despite the early exit, Texas Tech has a strong NCAA Tournament resume, aiming for a deep run.
