The Red Raiders are on their way to Raleigh, North Carolina to play the Butler Bulldogs on Thursday, as Tech is in the NCAA Tournament for the first time since 2007.

The Big East and Big 12 were certainly two of the best conferences in the country this season, so it'll be very interesting to see how these two teams will spar throughout their bout later this week. The winner gets to play either Virginia or Hampton.

Six other Big 12 teams also earned their dancing shoes, including the 4-seed Iowa State who is also in the Midwest Region along with Texas Tech. The other Big 12 seeds include Kansas as a 1-seed, Oklahoma as a 2, West Virginia as a 3, Baylor as a 5-seed and Texas as a 6.

The Bubble Teams given a play-in berth will do battle on Tuesday and Wednesday in Dayton.
