Not all that long of a shot

I just saw an article that listed Texas Tech as a March Madness long shot. I suppose they meant to win it all. And, sure, compared to the Dukes and Kentuckys of the world they would be a long shot. But not all that long. They have decent firepower. And they do that one thing you have to avoid in March: they don't beat themselves. So TTech going to the Final Four is not a stretch at all.
