Texas Tech Basketball: Texas Tech to Face N.C. State in First Round of NCAA Tournament

Texas Tech is dancing. Texas Tech has made the NCAA Tournament as a 6th seed and will face 11th seed North Carolina State on Thursday at 8:40 p.m. at PPG Paints Arena in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. This is a pretty tough game for Texas Tech, NC State won the ACC Tournament and beat Louisville, Syracuse, Duke, Virginia and North Carolina to earn an automatic birth.

Texas Tech is in the South Region overall and if Texas Tech advances past NC State, they’ll face the winner of Kentucky vs. Oakland.

Here’s a quick statistical look at the Wolfpack.

Apologies for the tardiness of this post. I got sick last night right after dinner for my Dad’s 76th birthday. My stomach was hurting and I had that wet feeling in my mouth, promptly wanted outside and absolutely unloaded to the point where my stomach is still sore this morning. Still feeling a bit weak this morning, which is not normal. And no, this is not related to drinking. Although this does break a 25-year (or so) streak of going vomit-free.
