For the first ten minutes of the second half of the Texas Tech basketball team’s 63-57 win over Kansas State on Saturday afternoon, the Wildcats dominated the game in the paint on both ends of the court helping them cut a 15-point halftime deficit to just one point.
But thankfully, the Red Raiders’ senior forward Tariq Owens took over the game. Down the stretch, he made several critical plays that may have gone largely unnoticed but helped ensure that his team came away with the win.
Owens’ final stat line (9 points, 8 rebounds, 3 blocks and a steal) was nice but was overshadowed by Davide Moretti’s career-high 19 points.
