Texas Tech beats Michigan State to reach NCAA national title game for first time
CONNECTTWEETLINKEDINCOMMENTEMAILMOREMINNEAPOLIS – That swarming Texas Tech defense has claimed yet another victim.
Texas Tech will face Virginia, a 63-62 winner against Auburn in the other semifinal. And given the Cavaliers’ defensive prowess, Monday’s championship game might be a defensive struggle unseen since the move from peach baskets to nets. Four years ago, Texas Tech’s Chris Beard was coaching at Division II Angelo State, another stop in a tour of college basketball backwaters. Now in his third season at Tech, he’s the owner of the AP’s national coach of the year award.
Michigan State climbed back in. Xavier Tillman’s free throws with 5:38 left pulled the Spartans within five, 52-47.
