I rolled my eyes so hard when TTU tied it up. I thought we were a goner.
Here is the next game minute after Culver tied the game 61-61, though...

-- Nick just
drilled that elbow jumper in rhythm that he likes so much
-- definitely a "OH NO BAD SHOT OH YEAH HE MADE IT!"
-- Mike blocked Culver's next attempt
-- grab the ball, go on the fast break to Haliburton
-- Haliburton sets up Wigginton, who has a
ridiculously athletic finish at the rim
-- Owens misses a free throw that would have made it a 2-point game
-- another Culver shot, scrum under the rim
-- Nick rips it away from two Tech guys, dribbles it out
-- Tech starts fouling
There are a half-dozen big plays there by our guys -- making shots, blocking shots, securing rebounds, and turning on the jets to go the other way on the break.
Marial also made 3/4 from the line in the last half-minute of the game, which was enough to keep the margin +4 at the final possession. Good enough for me.
That was closing out a tough game on the road.
