How Sweet it is! Red Raiders survive a battle against Notre Dame and advance to the Sweet Sixteen

Survive and advance baby.

Texas Tech made sure to keep us on the edge of our seats up until the last minute of the game as they narrowly escaped with a 59-53 victory over the Fighting Irish of Notre Dame.

This game was a battle from start to finish as it never seemed like the Red Raiders could pull away at any point with the Irish seeming to hit a timely three when they needed it. Obviously holding them to 53 points is impressive, but this was a close game and there would be a few mistakes here and there that almost seemed dooming as the game was winding down.
