It’s always a big event in Lubbock when the Texas Longhorns come to town. But this year, their annual visit will be even more special because the Texas Tech basketball program will be dedicating Saturday’s game to the memory of Andre Emmett.
The former Red Raider and an inaugural member of the program’s ring of honor was murdered last September outside his Dallas-area home as part of a robbery in which two men attacked him at gun-point as he sat in his vehicle and then fatally shot him as he attempted to flee. He was just 37 years old.
