As the clock ticked down in front of a relatively empty Gallagher-Iba arena, the Texas Tech Red Raiders were staring at their championship season begin to slip away. The shouts that were heard were not only from the Oklahoma State fans who had just upset the sixth ranked team in the country but also from the neighboring Kansas Jayhawk fans who were now in sole possession of first place in the Big 12.
The rest of the Big 12 shares in Tech’s solace as we all hoped this was the year Kansas’ reign on the Big 12 was over.
