Texas Tech News Notes & Links: 01.05.2015

Michael C. Johnson-USA TODAY Sports

The Lady Raiders win their first conference game of the year against TCU, a national look at the men's Big 12 conference play, including more folks doubting Tubby Smith and the Red Raiders.

It's the first day of school back for my wife and kiddo, so I'm trying to rush through the morning links so I can start working on the player profile for Texas Tech's newest commit in DeSoto ATH Tristan Wallace.  I also have the preview for tonight's game against West Virginia (it's an early tip tonight, 6:00 pm) coming up shortly.

* CBSSports.com Big 12 conference reset: Kansas reign facing toughest challenge yet - CBSSports.com - Still a ton of doubt about the men's team, which is understandable. I keep writing that I think that Texas Tech is really building something special with this team and group of players and I'm curious if I'm crazy for thinking that in a year, this team is going to take a significant step forward and in two years, will be one of the top teams in the conference.
