In a closely contested Big 12 basketball matchup, No. 20 Texas Tech edged out No. 11 Oklahoma with a final score of 85-84 at Norman. Chance McMillan was pivotal for the Red Raiders, contributing a career-high 27 points from the bench. Oklahoma initially led with a 21-4 run, ending the first half ahead 34-33. However, the Sooners' defense faltered in the second half, and mounting missed free throws contributed to their second consecutive home loss. Texas Tech's victory, under the guidance of coach Grant McCasland, maintains their position at the top of the Big 12, marking their 11th win in the last 12 games, with the only recent defeat at Houston.
