Good win... glad to see them gut it out. The freshman was taking too many bad shots and almost cost Texas the game.

He was off tonight, but drained the free throws for the win.
That young man looks like a ball player !

Hopefully, Terry can use that as a good teaching performance and Tre grows from it. Tramon Mark also looked impressive when he was in.

Texas Tech loses to St. Joseph's 78-77 which means the Longhorns will face the Hawks at 8:30 tonight on ESPNU.
