January 29, 2026 | Men's Tennis
LUBBOCK, Texas – The Texas Tech Red Raiders host the Nebraska Huskers and the Wichita State Shockers this weekend. Tech will welcome Nebraska on Friday at 3 p.m. at the McLeod Tennis Center, before hosting the Shockers on Saturday at 1 p.m. indoors at the Lubbock Country Club (3400 Mesa Road).
Texas Tech (1-1) opened its spring season with a 5-2 win over Southern Miss, securing the doubles point and with early straight-set singles victories. The Red Raiders later dropped their contest to Denver on the road, 3-4, despite earning the doubles point and fighting back in singles. Niksa Arsic picked up a three-set win after the match was clinched, while Denver secured the deciding points by winning two, third-set battles.
Texas Tech and Nebraska (4-0) have faced off in men's tennis 22 times over the years, with the Cornhuskers winning the last meeting on Feb. 23, 2024 by a 4-1 score. However, the Red Raiders have won 14 of the last 15 meetings against Nebraska. Texas Tech has won all 12 matchups versus Wichita State (2-4) in their history, including their most recent victory coming in a 4-3 win last February in Kansas.
Nebraska enters its matchup with a strong 4-0 start to the 2026 season, highlighted by a comeback victory over Memphis and a sweep of Drake. The Huskers have largely excelled at home so far, with all four wins coming Lincoln. The Shockers schedule has been road-heavy and challenging, where they have struggled with a 2-4 record, including losses at Utah State and New Mexico State.
The match against Nebraska Huskers will be livestreamed on PlaySight and have live stats available. The match on Saturday against Wichita State will only have live stats.
