Two well written, excellent paragraphs.
I'm not trying to steal an article. Its worth $3 to get a sub and go read it yourself.
But this is the media people are reading about OUR Texas Tech. Soak it in.

Oh, what fun it was, the slaying song Texas Tech played on Thursday night at the Honda Center. You could look at the 63-44 margin and get the general idea of how much disregard Michigan received on the short end of things. You also could look beyond that and understand that this one game made a bombastic program statement, more than the second straight shot at a Final Four (which will happen on Saturday night against top-seeded Gonzaga), which is preposterous enough on its own. This was Texas Tech facing off against last year’s national runners-up, a college athletics brand name, a dauntlessly mechanized outfit that did its business more or less exactly the way Texas Tech did. This was Texas Tech looking in the mirror, and then punching the mirror, and then dancing on the shards underfoot.
No one would really acknowledge that. No one acknowledged that the Red Raiders basically played Why Are You Hitting Yourself? with freaking Michigan and, in doing so, confirmed they should be considered one of the bullies too, and maybe even an emerging monolith. In an energized locker room, they said the right stuff. Though it should be noted that Anderson had to turn down the volume before anyone could hear. “Shooters change, point guards change, big men change, but the culture never changes,” senior forward Brandone Francis said. “Never. Kansas has a culture. Duke has a culture. North Carolina has a culture. They win championships with different players and different teams because the culture is the main thing.”
