When trying to get a victory in a building where you’ve won just once in the last 23 years, falling into a 16-point first-half hole is never wise. Bust despite trailing 27-11 late in the first 20 minutes of Saturday’s game in Austin, the Texas Tech basketball team battled all the way back for a 62-57 win over the Longhorns to move to 15-8 on the year and 6-4 in Big 12 play.
Tech now sits in a tie with West Virginia for third place in the Big 12 standings as the Mountaineers were upset by Oklahoma 69-59 in Norman in a game that ended as the Red Raiders and Longhorns were tipping off.
