The No. 16 Texas Tech Red Raiders are looking to build off a big weekend road win over West Virginia as they host the Colorado Buffaloes at home. Texas Tech snapped a two-game losing streak with a 70-63 victory at West Virginia, shooting 54% from 3-point range. The Red Raiders now have four home games left in the regular season and are aiming to take advantage of their home court advantage, starting with Colorado on Wednesday night.
Why it matters
Texas Tech currently sits fifth in the Big 12 standings and is looking to solidify its position in the conference with a strong finish to the regular season. The Red Raiders have performed well at home this year, going 11-1, and will need to continue that success to make a push for an NCAA Tournament bid.
The details
In the previous matchup between these two teams in January, Texas Tech held on for a 73-71 win over Colorado in Boulder. The Buffaloes were able to claw their way back into the game in the second half by getting to the free-throw line, forcing 20 fouls on the Red Raiders. Texas Tech will look to avoid giving Colorado easy looks on defense this time around and limit the Buffaloes' trips to the charity stripe.
- Texas Tech defeated West Virginia 70-63 on Sunday, February 9, 2026.
- Texas Tech hosts Colorado on Wednesday, February 12, 2026 at 7 p.m. CT.
The players
Grant McCasland
The head coach of the Texas Tech Red Raiders.
JT Toppin
A junior forward for the Texas Tech Red Raiders who scored 22 points and grabbed 9 rebounds in the win over West Virginia.
Christian Anderson
A sophomore guard for the Texas Tech Red Raiders who recorded a double-double with 13 points and 11 assists in the win over West Virginia.
What they’re saying
“Every home is so important this time of year. Especially when playing a Colorado team that was fantastic in the second half when we played them.”
— Grant McCasland, Head Coach
“In this league, especially playing a great team like Colorado defensively, you can't give these guys good looks. If they do, they have a ton of different offensive players that can make you pay. They have won two of their last three games and have played well offensively in those last three games.”
— Grant McCasland, Head Coach
What’s next
Texas Tech will look to take advantage of their home court before heading to Arizona for a two-game road trip to face No. 1 Arizona and Arizona State later this month.
The takeaway
Texas Tech's ability to defend well and limit Colorado's trips to the free-throw line will be crucial in their quest to capitalize on a favorable home schedule and solidify their position in the Big 12 standings.
