CINCINNATI — Former Cincinnati Bearcats quarterback Brendan Sorsby pulled his trolling fun hat out on X Tuesday night. His new school, Texas Tech, whooped Cincinnati 80-68 in basketball and he had fun celebrating it online and at the game.

The Texas Tech basketball team went 1-1 last week but suffered a double loss by falling at Arizona State and losing JT Toppin for the season with an ACL tear.

The Texas Tech basketball team and their surprising ranking, especially after the JT Toppin injury news, is explained further.

The Red Raiders are no longer viewed as Final Four contenders now that star forward JT Toppin has been lost to a season-ending injury. But Texas Tech still has plenty of talent on its roster. Christian Anderson is one of the best guards in the Big 12. Both LeJuan Watts and Donovan Atwell average more than 10 points per game.
