In an impressive comeback, the Texas Tech Red Raiders defeated the Texas A&M Aggies by a score of 88 to 83 to advance to the second round of the Big 12 tournament. What is more impressive than the comeback from 21 down is the second half performance of Mike Singletary.
The sophomore from Humble (suburb of Houston) scored 35 of his 43 in the second half to lead the charge. At one point Singletary had 33 of Tech's last 35 points. He was the only option they had offensively until A&M started sending players to the line late in the fourth.
It was the most dominating performance in Big 12 history, and possibly even in college basketball history. The game allows Tech to continue their season for now but is not expected to garner any tournament berth.
On the flip side, A&M's future in the dance seems secure giving their RPI of 29.
But for one night, Mike Singletary the basketball player can be more famous than Mike Singletary the Hall of Fame football player.
