Time to celebrate, the Red Raiders have been picked by the selection committee to play in the NCAA tournament! This has not happened since 2007. Texas Tech was one of the biggest surprise teams of the season finishing with a record of 19-12. Going 9-9 during Big 12 regular season play by beating other NCAA tourney bound conference teams like Oklahoma, Texas, Baylor, and Iowa State.
