The two giant, interlocking T’s on center court at United Supermarkets Arena didn’t just stand for “Texas Tech” on Wednesday night.
Lubbock, Texas was Technical Town, with the four technical fouls that were in the second half setting the tone for a disjointed final 20 minutes that the home team was able to take advantage of for an 89-81 win over No. 12 West Virginia.
In all, 54 fouls were called in the game — 28 against Texas Tech and 26 against the Mountaineers. The teams shot a combined 73 free throws.
Three of the technicals were whistled against West Virginia, and all were for apparent verbal violations rather than any sort of excessive physical contact.
