After Texas Tech won the game against Northern Kentucky on Tuesday, it was time for the Red Raiders to move on to the round of 32. The Buffalo Bulls were the next opponent for Texas Tech. The Red Raiders won 78-58 to advance to the Sweet 16 for a second straight year.

Before the game

During the team interviews the day before, the Buffalo players were not worried about Texas Tech’s defense. This resulted in many fans laughing at Buffalo once the score was finally.
