TEXAS TECH QUICK HITS

The seventh-seeded Mountaineers edged sixth-seeded and No. 24 Red Raiders, 65-60.


•    This is the third-ever meeting between a Bob Huggins-coached team and Texas Tech. Huggins coached Kansas State during the 2006-07 season. The Red Raiders slip a pair of matches against Huggins, winning in Manhattan (62-52), but losing in the Big 12 Championship (66-45).
