Tigers four minutes from semifinal berth
With 3:53 remaining, Missouri leads Texas Tech, 72-51.
Texas Tech has simply been unable to answer Missouri's early second half run. Red Raider guard Nick Okorie, who is tied for most Tech points (13) with Mike Singletary, fouled out in the middle of the half.
Although the third-seeded Tigers were expected to beat the No. 11 Red Raiders, nothing was guaranteed the way top seeds dropped like flies today in OKC.
