Just as they did last year at American Airlines Center in Dallas, Texas Tech fans basically took over the BOK Center in Tulsa for the second round of the NCAA Tournament.
"They carried us tonight," senior grad transfer guard Matt Mooney said. "Ever since I set foot at Texas Tech, the fan support is just different there. They get it. The support us. They're loud. They're not fair-weather. For them to travel from Lubbock ... we appreciate it so much."
Local star shines late: After a slow start, Buffalo guard C.J. Massinburg scored 12 of his 14 points in the second half, including three 3-pointers.
