TEXAS LONGHORNS (39-4; 9-0)
THE SERIES Texas has historically dominated the series, winning 10 of the last 11 meetings to lead 24-5 all-time. Tech’s last win over the Longhorns came on March 27, 2008 in a 5-4 victory in Lubbock. The win marked Tech’s first against Texas in Lubbock as the Red Raiders are 1-10 all-time in home games. ON DECK The Red Raiders return to the road next weekend, traveling to Lincoln, Neb. for the final time. The series opener with Nebraska is set for April 30. Tech will take a week off for finals before closing the season at Texas A&M, May 13-14, in College Station. NOT REALLY SENIOR DAY Many schools around the country will be honoring its senior class during the final home series of the season. Texas Tech will not be one of those schools, however, as the Red Raiders have no seniors on the roster, the only Big 12 school to hold the distinction. GILLISPIE TO THROW OUT FIRST PITCH Texas Tech men’s basketball coach Billy Gillispie will throw out the first pitch prior to Friday’s game. The newly-named head coach will also sign autographs on the stadium concourse beginning at 5:15 p.m.
