2026 Tournament PreviewThe Texas Tech team that finished the regular season No. 15 in both the NET and KenPom ratings is unfortunately not the one that will take the floor in the NCAA Tournament. Player of the Year candidate JT Toppin (21.8 ppg, 10.8 rpg) suffered a torn ACL on Feb. 17, leaving more responsibility to the likes of Christian Anderson (18.9 ppg, 7.6 apg), Donovan Atwell (13.5 ppg) and LeJuan Watts (11.5 ppg). Anderson is capable of carrying the team, but Red Raiders' path get to the second weekend is three-point shooting. Three players have banked at least 60 threes, with Atwell hitting 124, second in the nation, and Anderson adding 105. Both top 42 percent shooting from distance as the team converts 39.3 percent, sixth in the nation. However, a lack of turnovers (312th in turnover rate) and rebounding (177th in defensive rebounding rate), and, most important, no Toppin, limits their ceiling.
