Texas Tech is one of the under-the-radar teams entering the NCAA tournament, as the Red Raiders are a No. 3 seed coming off a 25-8 regular season. A big reason for Texas Tech's success is JT Toppin, as the forward is the team-leader in several categories.

Texas Tech is back in the big dance, hoping to make some noise in the NCAA Tournament’s West Region. Leading the charge for the Red Raiders is JT Toppin, a former Dallas-area high school standout.

Texas Tech beat UNC Wilmington in the first round with a 3-point barrage, setting a tournament record with 46 attempts. But with the Bulldogs blanketing the Red Raiders' guards, coach Grant McCasland chose to funnel the ball inside to Toppin, a second-team All-American, and Williams, who has been dealing with a right leg injury.
