cbssports said that The rematch between No. 14 Texas and No. 18 Texas Tech has some big shoes to fill after the Red Raiders won an instant classic in the first meeting back on Jan. 13. Texas Tech rallied from a 12-point deficit to win that game 79-77, courtesy of a late 3-pointer from Mac McClung, to hand the Longhorns just their second loss of the season.
Back then, Texas (14-6, 8-5 Big 12) was in the midst of a four-week stretch in the top-five of the AP poll before hitting issues with COVID-19 that contributed to a three-game losing streak that dropped it from Big 12 title contention. The win also signified the high-water mark of Texas Tech’s season as the Red Raiders (14-8, 6-7 Big 12) have lost five of eight games since, including three straight.
