ITS ALMOST MARCH BABY

Really on the rating description? Also the game was fun but Texas tech kept it a lot closer than it should’ve been by fouling so much in the early second half. Some beautiful passing and 3 balls from the raiders though.

Rating Random Games Anyone Gives Me Part 22: This was the Battle of Inconsistency. Texas Tech was very up and down since the Toppin injury, had some big wins and terrible losses, and Iowa State was just the most boom or bust team in basketball history. But just looking at how Texas Tech won this game, imagine how far they could've gone in the tournament if they had JT Toppin. Such a talented team, and I really do think they would've beaten Alabama despite the fact that they lost by 30 without him. Having JT Toppin made them such a well-rounded team and they really were consistent when they had Toppin in the lineup.

annoying game as a fan, Tech was just shooting the lights out and ISU was doing the opposite. Solid game though all around with good talent and high quality ball

Well another tough upset it feels like every week we go up the rankings and then right back where we started

This game had me jumping out of my seat and when Iowa state went on a run at the very end I thought Texas Tech might actually lose very exciting hope to see these type of games from both teams in March Madness 8/10

Texas Tech goes into Hilton and picks up as good of a win you can get. Without JT too? This games showed everyone tech can compete despite the huge injury

Texas Tech gives Iowa State their first home loss of the season. This was a game they needed to prove they can win against top opponents without their best player JT Toppin. They are 3-0 since he got hurt. I’m not really the biggest fan of Iowa State. I think they have some great players but they have been very inconsistent lately and have had some questionable performances. It could be another one of those years where Iowa State underperforms their seed line. They will most likely be a 2 seed unless they go on a big run and win the big 12 tournament.

No Toppin no problem as Texas Tech dominates to hand Iowa State their first home loss of the season with Dylan Atwell scoring 18 14 from Christian Anderson 13 from Luke Bamgboye and 12 from Jalen Petty the Red Raiders lead by 20 and double digits at halftime leading pretty much start to finish

I’d pay for Jaylen Petty’s meal

I’d how Texas Tech is doing this it I love it

The Grateful Red

I was genuinely dying the first half. Iowa State played so bad it was hilarious. Just sagging off on defense and taking dumb shots. Nice man. This is a game they shouldve easily won but they let Texas Tech get hot and that was the end of the story. The fact it was home too. Scenes. Texas Tech is hindered without JT but what a great performance

Huge win for Texas Tech, feel like whatever you do with Iowa State in your bracket this year it’s going to be wrong.

Big 12 is too confusing for me. Atleast in the big 10 we all know who’s the best
