NCAA Red Raiders Defeat Cowboys in Overtime

103 28
Texas Tech defeated Oklahoma State 75-74 in overtime during last Saturday's game.
The Texas Red Raiders started the season off a little shaky with poor defensive strategies, then they improved their defense but weren't making any baskets.
Hopefully this recent victory over Oklahoma will now smoothen out the rest of their season.
Texas coach Pat Knight is now confident that the team will finish stronger than where they started the season from.
One of the star players from Saturday's game was guard John Roberson, the Texas Tech senior, who hit a three-pointer with only fifty-three seconds remaining in overtime, pulling a victory over Oklahoma State.
Roberson has played in 99 total Red Raider games and started 93 games in three seasons in his junior year alone.
He also received an All-Big 12 Honorable Mention for the 2009-2010 season.
On the other side of the court, Oklahoma State coach Travis Ford claims that the reason for the team's loss was because of poor shooting.
With all considering, the leader of the Cowboys pack was Keiton Page.
The Cowboys did have a chance to win after Page's two free throws brought them to 74 within the last thirty-three seconds of overtime.
Page also slammed three of his ten free throws to tie the game with 68 sending the game into overtime.
The only saving grace for the Cowboys was their ability to master the rebounds and second chance points.
They were close, but not close enough.
The rest of the season will be interesting for the two teams.
Will the Red Raiders continue to learn from their mistakes from the beginning of the season long enough to finish the season strong? And will the Cowboys master the baskets in time to turn their season around? Tune in next game.
