Texas fans, others react to Texas Tech basketball’s free fall
The Texas Tech Red Raiders are free falling. After an 0-8 start in conference play, the team fell to 10-10 overall on the season on Wednesday.
Tech lost some key contributors but I’m not sure anyone saw a drop off like this on the horizon.
The team isn’t bereft of talent, as Texas found out in a narrow comeback victory over their in-state basketball rival. Led by Kevin Obanor and Pop Isaacs, the Raiders have the requisite scoring ability to compete. Something is missing.
While the best coaches in the country are adept at diagnosing root causes for team struggles, Texas Tech head coach Mark Adams isn’t finding any winning solutions.
Lets look at how Twitter responded to Texas Tech’s blowout loss to West Virginia.

Tech has standards
If you are trying to say that Texas Tech might fire Mark Adams and rehire Chris Beard, the chances of that are 0.000%. https://t.co/4v5ehHh04M

Losing the effort battle
I love Texas Tech basketball, but this team isn’t showing what Tech basketball is. Tech basketball is tough, street dogs. Right now, we’re getting beat in every effort category out there

The worst team in the conference?
Texas Tech is about to lose to the worst team in the conference by double-digits at home. Fans are allowed to react accordingly

Revisiting the Mark Adams hire
Beginning to think this Mark Adams guy may not have been responsible for Tech’s previous success.
Twitter lied to us.
