The Texas Tech Red Raiders men’s basketball team is on a roll, and their impressive performance is being recognized nationally. As of Monday, the Red Raiders have moved up to No. 12 in both the AP Top 25 and USA TODAY Coaches Poll. This ranking is a testament to the team’s hard work and dedication, as they continue to improve with each passing game.
In addition to their AP Top 25 ranking, the Red Raiders have also risen to No. 9 in the NCAA NET and Kenpom rankings. This is a significant achievement, as it reflects the team’s strength and consistency throughout the season. With a streak of eight wins in their last 10 games, the Red Raiders are undoubtedly one of the hottest teams in college basketball right now.
The Red Raiders’ impressive performance has also earned them a No. 3 spot in the Big 12 rankings, behind only Houston and Arizona. However, with upcoming games against Arizona State and Oklahoma State, the Red Raiders have the opportunity to continue their winning streak and potentially move up the rankings even further.
The latest AP Top 25 poll sees Auburn holding steady at No. 1, followed closely by Alabama, Florida, Duke, and Tennessee. The Big 12 is well-represented in the poll, with Houston ranked No. 6, Iowa State at No. 10, the Red Raiders at No. 12, Arizona at No. 13, and Kansas at No. 17. This is a testament to the strength and depth of the Big 12 conference, which is undoubtedly one of the most competitive in college basketball.
The Red Raiders’ consistent ranking in the AP Top 25 is a source of pride for the program, which has now been ranked for a program-record eight straight seasons. Last season’s highest ranking was No. 15, but this year’s team is clearly on a mission to surpass that mark.
As the Red Raiders continue to push forward, they will face stiff competition from some of the top teams in the country. However, with their current momentum and ranking, they are undoubtedly one of the teams to beat in college basketball. Will they be able to maintain their winning streak and continue to rise in the rankings? Only time will tell, but one thing is certain – the Texas Tech Red Raiders men’s basketball team is a force to be reckoned with.
