Texas Tech outlasted Oklahoma 69-61, handing the Sooners their fifth consecutive loss at United Supermarkets Arena in Lubbock.
At season’s end, the Sooners are going to look back on this game as one they easily could have stolen on the road. This game was there for the taking, and Oklahoma simply couldn’t make shots in the critical final eight minutes — and Texas Tech did — and that’s when the game was decided.
The game was tied at 51-all with just a few ticks over nine minutes to go, but from that point forward the Red Raiders outscored the Sooners 18-10 to put the game away.
