Forward Aaron Ross scored 18 points off the bench to lead Texas Tech past Oklahoma 77-69 on Saturday. To reach the NCAA Tournament, the Red Raiders will need more performances like that from the fifth-year-senior.
Last February, Texas Tech rattled off an unexpected five-game Big 12 winning streak to move from 3-7 to 8-7 in conference play. Thanks to the heroics of senior forward Aaron Ross in Saturday’s eight-point win over Oklahoma, the Red Raiders have an opportunity for another February run.
Ross was Texas Tech’s go-to scorer down the stretch as the Red Raiders held off a feisty young Oklahoma squad.
