Texas Tech Advances to 2019 NCAA Championship with Tough Win vs. Michigan State

Matt Mooney has Texas Tech on the brink of its first national championship in school history after a 61-51 Final Four win over Michigan State.

The guard was the surprise hero for the Red Raiders on Saturday, finishing with 22 points at U.S. Bank Stadium in Minneapolis. Jarrett Culver struggled for much of the night but scored eight of his 10 points in the final three minutes to help seal the game for the No. 3 seed.

Despite facing numerous programs with more past success so far in the NCAA tournament, Texas Tech continues to keep the dream season alive.
