In the first ten minutes of this game, Texas Tech seemed like a team that didn’t want to be there. The Red Raiders were sluggish, body language was off, but they hung in there despite a stellar performance from Bryce Thompson.

I truly don’t understand how this game came down to the last possession, Tech didn’t play great, Oklahoma State let them back into the game. Just an extremely frustrating night, there wasn’t any life.

De’Vion Harmon’s effort was there, one of the only Red Raiders to have a lot of care about this one, it seemed. Leading a 9-0 run in the second half to get Tech back into this one, Harmon had a really solid night.

Jaylon Tyson played well, relatively, with really ineffective shooting numbers but double-digit scoring. Good to see him score, but they lost, so, moot point.

Kevin Obanor had a solid night after an extremely tough showing on Saturday in Waco and was huge to keep the Red Raiders in this one. His effort

Daniel Batcho continues to be really, really bad. I understand he is dealing with the illness but man, he’s looked the same, if not worse, than he was last season in a much larger sample size. It’s truly baffling how much he was hyped up in the offseason.

Tech shot well in the second half, but it was truly astonishing to see them in this one, it wasn’t like the Red Raiders played extremely well in the second half, Oklahoma State just played worse.

I think a major reason why Tech got into this one was the complete disappearance of Bryce Thompson in the second half, Oklahoma State’s scoring completely dried up and it was why this was even a contest.

It never felt like there was a ton of effort from the Red Raiders tonight, really frustrating to be honest. This game felt like it never started, just one of the games of all time.
