Though it feels like the college basketball season is still in its early stages, Big 12 play begins tonight and the Texas Tech basketball team will be in Morgantown to open league play against West Virginia. Thus far, Texas Tech is one of the surprise teams in the nation.
At 11-1 overall, Tech is ranked 11th in both national polls. That is the second-highest ranking of any team in the Big 12 behind No. 5 Kanas.
In the new NCAA NET rankings (which replaces the old RPI system), Tech sits at No. 5 overall (tops in the Big 12).
