The Texas Tech Red Raiders had a lot of excitement throughout the 2024 college baseball season but were unable to win the Big 12 Conference Tournament. That meant their fate to make it to the 2024 NCAA Baseball was out of their control and needed to wait until Monday's Selection Show to figure out if their season was going to continue in the NCAA Baseball Tournament or if the offseason was beginning earlier than expected.

Let's take a closer look into the Texas Tech Red Raiders and discuss what happened to get to that point.

Did Texas Tech make the NCAA Baseball Tournament 2024?
