Texas Tech giving top seeds a run for their money

[MrBaseball]

exas Tech is 8-0 to start a season for the first time since 1929. Knight isn't focused on the history.

"This means a lot to us," he said. "This gets us ready for the rest of the nonconference, but it really prepares us for the Big 12."

Texas Tech withstood an official review at the end of regulation that took away a 3-pointer that would have given Tech the win in the matchup of unbeaten teams.

Elston Turner of the Huskies missed two free throws with 4.8 seconds left in regulation and the score tied at 80.

Mike Singletary of Texas Tech brought the ball up and appeared to have won the game on a running 3-pointer as time expired but officials determined he did not get the shot off before the buzzer.

The crowd swarmed the court, thinking the game was over. The fans, and the debris they left behind, had to be cleared from the court before the overtime could begin.

Knight said he suspected Singletary's basket might be negated although he believed he shot it in time.

"I just stood there and waited for the worst," Knight said. "We ended up winning twice, I guess."

The Big 12 was predicted to be dominated by the NCAA's #1, and #2 seeds Kansas and Texas. But nobody would have predicted was that Texas Tech may be added to the picture. Last week they managed to defeated the #10 Ranked team in the Nation (Washington). And have begun the season with a 8-0 Record. While Kansas and Texas remain at 6-0.

So what are your thoughts? Could Texas Tech pull of a miracle season and win the Big 12? Or are they just off to a lucky start?

I guess the games yesterday answered your question. Texas beats UNC, and Tech lost to Wichita State.
