You don't even have to be a basketball fan to know that there's one Texas Tech basketball game on the schedule that everyone is circling in their calendars.

Chris Beard shocked the college basketball world on April 1st earlier this year when it was announced that he was going to take the Texas Longhorns job and leave Texas Tech, where he'd already made so many promises.

Flash forward to September 15th, and Texas Tech basketball fans feel great about their new coach Mark Adams and the brand new roster his staff has compiled in Lubbock. That doesn't mean Red Raiders everywhere still aren't ready to watch new head coach Mark Adams and company beat the ever-living snot out of the Texas Longhorns at the United Supermarkets Arena.

You'll be able to do that on February 1st, 2022. I don't know if Lubbock is ready for as wild as the United Supermarkets arena is. It's going to be unlike anything that's ever been witnessed in that arena.

Now, that's not the only game on the schedule. There are 17 other Big 12 games and more non-conference games as well. Texas Tech has billed the conference slate to an 18-round fight -- something that Chris Beard said often, but resonates more deeply with former boxer Mark Adams at the helm.
