Texas Tech didn’t exactly limp into its matchup with No. 6 Texas. The Red Raiders defeated No. 13 Iowa State and No. 12 Kansas State in their previous two home games, and game-changing transfer big Fardaws Aimaq finally seemed healed from the foot injury that had limited him to four games. Even encircled by United Supermarkets Arena’s frothing fans, a few armed with derisive posters featuring former Texas Tech and Texas coach Chris Beard’s mugshot, the Longhorns should have left Lubbock with their 10th conference win. They had overcome a 12-point deficit to win the first meeting in Austin, and this time around Texas Tech didn’t have freshman guard Pop Isaacs to go off for 20-plus points.
“They played really well here in winning two big ballgames prior to beating us,” Texas interim coach Rodney Terry said. “You know, Tech has good personnel, they have a good coach who does a great job of putting his guys in position to win games. And in our league anybody can beat anybody, I don’t care if you’re at home or on the road.”
