Wednesday in Austin, the Texas Tech basketball team upset no. 4 Texas 79-77 thanks to a jumper by Mac McClung with three seconds to play.
Mac McClung was brought to Texas Tech to be a closer. But prior to Wednesday night, when his team has been in one-score games late, McClung had not been given the opportunity to play the role of the hero as other players tried to take over.
