Would you expect anything less out of this tournament!!!!!! DeAndre Hunter was hot early to give the Cavaliers a 10 point lead – but as the first half, Texas Tech came back.
First, Davide Moretti hit a three pointer with 1 1/2 minutes to cut Virginia’s lead to one. Then, Norense Odiase blocked Hunter driving in the lane to give the Red Raiders the ball. Then, with 35 seconds, the Big 12 player of the year Jarrett Culver made an incredible drive to the basket to give the Red Raiders the lead. After a Ty Jerome missed runner in the lane, Norense Odiase extended the Red Raiders lead to 3.
But Virginia lives for being down 3 late, this time it was Ty Jerome driving down the lane and kicking it out to DeAndre Hunter in the corner for the game-tying three-pointer with 12 seconds.
Texas Tech got two tries to win the game. Culver missed a three pointer and Hunter rebounded it. But when Hunter tried to kick the ball out to Kyle Guy, Guy was trying to call timeout. So, Texas Tech got one more shot with a second left, but Culver’s three pointer is blocked by Virginia’s Braxton Key – we are heading to overtime
