Dominant defense earned Texas Tech their second consecutive trip to the Sweet 16. Jarrett Culver had 16 points and 10 rebounds as the Red Raiders shut down Buffalo 78-58.
The UTEP Miners made an impression last weekend, if not on national television (provided America was still awake at 12:45 am MDT) then certainly on their coach.
UTEP RB Aaron Jones had 147 yards and the Miners held the ball for almost two-thirds of the game; but in the end, an explosive Texas Tech offense and solid defense left UTEP thinking about what might have been in its narrow 30-26 defeat.
