Texas Tech is heading to the Sweet 16 in the West Regional, but it sure didn't come easy.

The Red Raiders beat Notre Dame 59-53 on Sunday in what was a scrappy, tight matchup at the NCAA men's basketball tournament.

The largest lead for either side was just seven points, held by three-seed Texas Tech, as neither team created a comfortable cushion and traded the lead back and forth in the second half. The Red Raider defense clamped down in particular, holding 11-seed Notre Dame to just 32.7 percent shooting from the field.
