They also are dead set on showing they don\u2019t know how to act at a sporting event.<\/p>\n<p>The Red Raiders need to Tighten Up.<\/p>\n<p>Texas Tech has faced a ranked opponent in four of its last five games. In those games, the Red Raiders are 4-1, which helps explain why they entered the weekend ranked eighth in the country.<br \/>\nBut when they beat No. 2 West Virginia Saturday in Lubbock, thousands of fans rushed the court. The result was an incident that was as ugly as it was predictable.<\/p>\n<p>West Virginia players, who had just lost a physical, 72-71 decision, felt the need to defend themselves or lash out in anger at Red Raider fans rushing the court. At least one player took a swing and appears to land it on the chin of a fan. Other players scuffled with oncoming fans.<br \/>\nBig 12 Commissioner Bob Bowlsby has the power to fine or even force Texas Tech to lose the right to host some home games as a result of the incident.<\/p>\n<p>Neither of those punishments would be too severe for a program that needs to Tighten Up, act like they\u2019ve been there before and avoid an even bigger embarrassment.<br \/>\nWho do you think needs to Tighten Up?
