The college basketball postseason is almost here, with fans looking forward to the conference tournaments and March Madness. But there are still important games to be played before we get to that point. The next must-watch game is Texas Tech Red Raiders vs. Iowa State Cyclones.
The Cyclones are riding high in the overall rankings — they're ranked No. 4 with a 24-4 record. But Texas Tech, not far behind Iowa in the Big 12 conference, have shown good form recently and even defeated the No. 2 team, Arizona, just two weeks ago. All of which means this could be an exciting contest.
