KANSAS CITY, Mo. - Dejan Kravic rebounded Texas Tech's desperation shot
and dropped it into the bucket just ahead of the buzzer, lifting Texas Tech over
West Virginia 71-69 in the opening round Wednesday night of the Big 12
tournament.
The Red Raiders (11-19), who lost twice to West Virginia in the regular
season, gave up a 14-point lead in the first half but managed to hold on for
only their second victory all year away from home.
Texas Tech will meet the regular-season champion, No. 7 Kansas (26-5), in
Thursday's quarterfinals.
Jaye Crockett's 18 points led Texas Tech, which had lost 11 of its last 12.
West Virginia (13-19) ended its first season in the Big 12 on a seven-game
losing skid, again denying coach Bob Huggins the victory he's been needing to
tie Ray Meyer for 18th on the all-time Division I winning list. Terry Henderson
had 12 points for the Mountaineers.
