No. 3-seeded Texas Tech advanced to the team's first Final Four in program history after defeating No. 1 Gonzaga 75–69 on Saturday.
In a contested battle between Gonzaga's top-rated offense and Texas Tech's top-rated defense, the Red Raiders ultimately came out on top.
Gonzaga shot 50% from the field in the first half and led 37–35 at intermission, but the Bulldogs missed 11 of their first 16 shots in the second half and turned the ball over four times, allowing Texas Tech to build a lead.
Texas Tech went ahead by seven points with 52 seconds remaining before Gonzaga's Josh Perkins drilled a three-point jumper to pull the Bulldogs within two with 20 seconds left to play.
