https://texastech.com/boxscore.aspx?id=14423&path=mbball
WVU looked tough against OU the night before. OU almost took it to overtime on a last second shot from beyond the arc, but the toe was on the line.
Tech trailed by as many as 17 in the first half and didn't take the lead until two minutes left in the game (the Culver blocked-three, coast-to-coast spectacular)
WVU 22-11 advantage in second-chance points.
Freshman Emmitt Matthews, Jr. went supernova. Averaging 3.9 pts/game coming into the game, came up with 28 points on 10-14 shooting (2-4 3PT), 6-6 from the line in 30 minutes. 6 ORB-2DRB.
Culver with a double-double (26 points, 10 boards) and 1000 career points (0-6 from 3).
Rebounds:
TTU - 7 ORB - 23 DRB (30 TOTAL)
WVU - 19 ORB - 25 DRB (44 TOTAL)
