In the final game of the season, Coach AUChase and the Texas Tech Red Raiders hosted Oklahoma State in hopes of earning a season finale conference win but performed terribly and were outplayed in front of the faithful home crowd.

It was obvious that the players had their eyes on the transfer portal or NFL because their heads were in a different place besides Lubbock, TX. as the failure to execute the basics continued to stack up until the lead was insurmountable and Oklahoma State was was able to ice the game late.
