00:00Johnny, you've been high on this Red Raiders team under Grant McCaslin and for good reason,

00:04they look really strong right now. 77-64 the victory over Drake, the Red Raiders cover as a

00:11six and a half point pregame favorite. I'll tell you what's interesting too and I love the way that

00:15teams can win in different ways. We'll talk about Houston in just a little bit where they can slow

00:18it down, they can play a higher tempo and a higher scoring game and still win. Texas Tech's calling

00:23card is the three-point shot, game number one of the tournament in the round of 64, they bombed

00:26away. Game number two, they still won going away, 2-14 from the three-point line. Still waiting on

00:32Chance McMillan to come back if there's a chance, one of the best three-point shooters in the

00:35country but I love that. Like when you win ugly and are still able to advance, it shows you. You

00:48game but just apparent. Like when you're playing the upper level teams now in the NIL where it's

00:53hey, I can be a fourth or fifth-year senior on this team and I don't want to transfer because

00:57number one, I'm not going to get paid. Number two, I got to sit out an entire season. Now that you

01:00don't have to do that, you do take some of these hits with some of the lower to mid majors at this point.
