Texas Tech Final Four Basketball Practice 2019

April 5, 2019 by Brad Tollefson Leave a Comment

For the first time in school history, the Texas Tech men’s basketball team traveled to compete in the Final Four of the NCAA Tournament. After defeating Gonzaga in the Elite Eight, the Red Raiders prepared to meet Michigan State on the court in Minneapolis.

So far this has been an incredible experience getting to meet local and national photographers from around the country. Many of them have been covering the tournament for multiple decades.

While all four remaining teams practiced and had interviews today, I focused my attention on Texas Tech while they were in the building.

This week Carlos, Matt and I traveled up to Tulsa, Oklahoma for the first weekend of the NCAA Tournament. Texas Tech returned to the NCAA tournament for a second straight season as the No. 3 seed, facing off against No. 14 Northern Kentucky. With each first/second round site hosting eight teams, there was plenty of basketball to watch and photograph.
