AUSTIN -- Call it the Drum Drought, or the Austin Curse or simply the Real Long Road Losing Streak.
Whatever the name, it's over now.
The Chris Beard era at Texas Tech notched another milestone. The Red Raiders are far from finished this season.
No. 8 Tech held off Texas 68-62 to claim its first win at the Erwin Center since Feb. 24, 1996, the last time Tech was this good at this point. At least that's what the record says. Tech is 15-1 for just the second time in program history, matching the 1995-96 team.
