Third-seeded Texas Tech made history Saturday, using its trademark sticky defense to shut down top-seeded Gonzaga’s high-scoring offense and produce a 75-69 win in the West Regional final at Honda Center in Anaheim, Calif.
Jarrett Culver scored 19 points to pace the balanced Red Raiders , who reached the Final Four for the first time in school history. Matt Mooney also hit for 17, including two foul shots with 19.7 seconds left that gave them a four-point lead. Davide Moretti, who finished with 12 points, canned two foul shots to up the margin to four. Culver added two more free throws with 9.3 seconds on the clock to ice it.
“We lost to a really, really, really good basketball team in a great basketball game,” Zags coach Mark Few said. “I thought we had good rhythm in that first half. The game just came down to a couple of plays down the stretch where they made big plays and we just didn’t quite answer.”
