The Texas Tech Red Raiders men's basketball team were able to make a return to the win column following a two-game skid with a win on the road over the West Virginia Mountaineers Sunday afternoon.

The conference slate continues on for the Red Raiders as they trend towards the NCAA Tournament, and they turn their attention now to the Colorado Buffaloes, who are struggling to keep their head above the water in the 2025-26 season.

While the Red Raiders sit at 7-3 in conference play and top five in the Big 12, the Buffaloes sit 4-7 against their conference foes, and 14-10 overall in the season.

Before their back-to-back losses in conference play, the Red Raiders were winners of five straight games, which included victories over the No. 11 BYU Cougars and the No. 6 Houston Cougars.

Colorado has not been as fortunate in the campaign up to this point. After winning their first eight games of the year, the foundation began to crack once conference play began, and after defeating Arizona State and Utah to begin Big 12 action, the Buffs would drop their next six games, before alternating wins and losses in their next three games against TCU, Baylor, and Arizona State.
