Thursday, the Texas Tech basketball program shared with fans a bit of scheduling news. Sending out a graphic on social media platforms that showed which Big 12 opponents they will face at home and which they will face on the road, the Red Raiders provided a little bit of clarity about what will be one of the most intriguing regular-season schedules in recent program history.
Though we still don’t know the order in which these games will fall, nor do we know what Tech’s full non-conference slate will look like, the revelation of the home and away conference opponents is the first step in helping fans figure out just how the league will proceed with scheduling now that there are too many teams in the mix to stick with the double round-robin format that has been its calling card since the conference dropped to just 10 members in 2011-12.
