The Red Raiders missed 10 of their last 11 shots from the field. But Texas Tech kept managing to get defensive stops against Notre Dame and then would get to the free throw line on offense. With 5 minutes left, they were losing by 1 point.

And yet, despite not scoring from the field, they scored 10 points from the line. With the Irish trying desperately to score down 5, they missed multiple shots, Texas Tech blocks the last shot, taps out the rebound, and passes it up to Kevin McCullar for a celebratory and game-ending dunk. The Red Raiders would win 59-53 and advance.
