As a past President of Saddle Tramps and a long-time supporter of Texas Tech, I can tell you I was beaming after their defeat by Florida.
One single man on Florida’s team got sizzling hot and that was the difference, but the tenacity, pride and persistence of our team was awesome.
Congratulations, Red Raider basketball team.
You are some of the fortunate few that made it to the Sweet 16 and we are proud of you.
