Texas Tech seed could shift before the field is announced.

ESPN currently projects Texas Tech as a 4-seed; the Red Raiders are 3-0 since JT Toppin's season-ending ACL tear and have two regular-season games remaining.

Texas Tech has navigated a season of challenges and positive results in the Big 12. The program lost forward JT Toppin to a season-ending ACL tear and has gone 3-0 since the injury. That stretch included a road win over then-No. 4 Iowa State. With two regular-season games left, seeding projections are still likely to change before Selection Sunday. Key facts: - ESPN's bracketology currently projects Texas Tech as a 4-seed. - Two regular-season games remain: a home game against TCU and a road finale at BYU. - A pair of wins could move the Red Raiders toward a 3-seed, depending on other results around the country. - Teams currently projected above them include Kansas, Houston, Nebraska, and Gonzaga, and conference tournament performance may affect final seeding. - Texas Tech has losses to Kansas and Houston but recorded a home win against Houston; the committee has been reported as aware of JT Toppin's absence. Summary: A strong finish in the regular season and results in the Big 12 tournament could improve Texas Tech's standing, while losses or a weak tournament showing could lead to a lower seed. Outcomes for programs ahead of them, especially Kansas and Houston, are likely to influence where the Red Raiders land. Undetermined at this time.
