After a questionable start, No. 8 Texas Tech locked in and built on what was already a historic season.
The Red Raiders defeated Iowa State 80-73 in Big 12 play to earn at least a share of the conference title for the first time in program history. Tech has a shot at the outright title pending on the result of the Oklahoma at Kansas State -- who was tied with the Red Raiders at 13-4 in Big 12 play heading into Saturday's game -- game, which is slated for a 5 p.m. tip on Saturday.
Tech comes out of the gate swinging in second half
The Red Raiders struggled defensively and couldn't string together the runs they needed to get the job done in the first half, but fell into form in the second period.
