The team picked to finish seventh in the Big 12 preseason poll is now headed to the Elite 8. Thanks to a suffocating defensive showing in a 63-44 win over No. 2 seeded Michigan, the Texas Tech basketball team is once again just one win from reaching the Final Four for the first time in program history.
Jarrett Culver had a game-high 22 points while Davide Moretti added 15 as Tech shook off a cold-shooting effort in the first half to pull away after halftime. Two Moretti 3-pointers in the first four minutes of the second half gave Tech a 36-18 advantage and Culver drove the final spike through the Wolverines’ heart with 14 second-half points as he attacked the rim with impunity.
