Texas Tech vs Alabama

Alabama absolutely dismantled Texas Tech in the second round of the NCAA Tournament, dominating from start to finish with a 90-65 blowout at Benchmark International Arena. The Crimson Tide seized control early, unleashing multiple devastating runs throughout the first half—including an 11-1 surge that pushed them to a 27-10 lead. Alabama's defense was suffocating, forcing Texas Tech into a brutal 33-play scoring drought that helped the Tide build an insurmountable lead. The Red Raiders never recovered from Alabama's onslaught. The Crimson Tide's largest advantage ballooned to 34 points as they controlled the tempo and pace on both ends of the floor. Texas Tech managed a late bucket from Jazz Henderson with under a minute left, but it was far too little, far too late. Alabama's second-round statement sent a clear message heading deeper into March.
