Every team is going to have close calls during a season. The difference between average teams and great teams lies in the ability to prevail when you don’t have your “A” game and that is what the Texas Tech basketball team did Wednesday against Oklahoma State, which entered the game as a 17-point underdog.
Coming off a 29-point win over Kansas, many wondered if the Red Raiders would suffer a let down against the ninth-place team in the league. But despite playing an uninspiring first half, Tech still took a 10-point lead into the locker room making the near upset so strange.
