How to Watch the No. 16 Texas Tech Red Raiders Host the Cincinnati Bearcats
In this story:
The No. 16 Texas Tech Red Raiders will host the Cincinnati Bearcats Tuesday night at the United Supermarkets Arena in Lubbock with four games left to go in the 2026 regular season before "March Madness" officially gets underway.
The Red Raiders, still reeling from losing star player JT Toppin for the year with a torn ACL, were able to shrug the injury to the side last Saturday in their 100-72 win over the Kansas State Wildcats that saw Donovan Atwell and Christian Anderson carry the load offensively with 47 combined points.
Tech now faces their attention to another Big 12 team, the Cincinnati Bearcats, looking to continue to drive their NCAA Tournament stock higher.
Red Raiders vs. Bearcats
Texas Tech comes into the game with a 20-7 record in the 2025-26 season, and a 10-4 record against conference opponents, with Anderson leading the team with 19.1 points and 7.7 assists averaged across the campaign.
Cincinnati travels to Lubbock with an even 7-7 conference record and 15-12 overall, but currently ride a four-game winning streak, and are led in scoring and rebounding by senior forward Baba Miller with 13.9 points and 10.2 rebounds per game.
The Bearcats' most recent win that extended their win to four came in a dominant upset over the No. 8 Kansas Jayhawks in Lawrence last Saturday, resulting in a 84-68 Cincy win.
