SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Texas Tech was forced to play without its best outside shooter for its NCAA Tournament matchup against Arkansas.
Chance McMillian was ruled out of the Sweet 16 game Thursday night because of an oblique injury sustained in the Big 12 Tournament earlier this month.
McMillian had expressed hope that he would be able to play in his homecoming but instead missed his fourth straight game. McMillian grew up in San Francisco and went to high school in nearby Vallejo.
McMillian leads the Red Raiders with 69 3-pointers this season and is shooting a team-best 43.
