Former Texas Tech quarterback Patrick Mahomes has been an ardent supporter of his alma mater since leaving for the NFL. The Red Raiders have had some great moments during that run, most notably the men’s basketball program’s run to the national championship game in 2019.
Friday night’s men’s Big 12 tournament game was not among those great moments.
Facing top-ranked Houston, No. 25 Texas Tech hung in during the first half, and trailed just 32–29 at the break. It was an encouraging performance early on, as evidenced by Mahomes’s tweet at the time.
