The Red Raiders are set to face off against the #7 Houston Cougars tomorrow night in what should be an incredible matchup between two teams who have recently had a bit of a rivalry brewing. Last time Texas Tech went to the Fertitta Center they left with a statement win, ending the Cougars home winning streak of 33 straight.

Houston is currently 13-1, with their only loss being to Tennessee 76-73. At the beginning of the season, they were the #1 team in the Big 12 and #2 overall in the AP rankings. With the loss to Tennessee they dropped a few spots, not to mention they are now the #3 Big 12 team with Arizona and Iowa State having incredible starts to their season both being undefeated.
