Every year, life on the road in Big 12 play is the key determinant in the conference title race. That’s why the Texas Tech basketball team’s 66-54 win in Norman on Saturday was especially critical.
Tech entered the game just 2-3 in league play away from Lubbock and facing back-to-back games in the state of Oklahoma. The Red Raiders likely need to sweep their way through the Sooners and the Cowboys if they want to maintain any hope of staying in the thick of the conference race.
And they got just what they needed against OU. The home team scored the first basket of the game but would not lead again staying in front of the Red Raiders for just 47 seconds.
