Lousiana Tech has lost games against two good teams, S. Illinois and Texas ATM, their other loses have been close. Texas Tech is just not that good. Bobby Knight is a great coach, but he does not get talent because of his obvious erratic personal behavior.

Texas Tech will have a very hard time in a decent Big 12. ATM, Kansas, Texas, Missouri, Oklahoma State... should all be fairly tough teams. Oklahoma lost Kelvin Sampson so I dont expect much from them. Their best recruit has abandoned ship. No way Texas Tech makes the NCAA tourney. They will be just above .500 in the Big 12 play.
