Texas Tech emerged victorious in a thrilling Sweet Sixteen matchup against Arkansas, securing their spot in the Elite Eight of the 2025 NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament. The final score was 85-83 in overtime, capping off a game filled with dramatic swings and intense competition.   The Red Raiders, the higher seed in the matchup, found themselves in a significant hole, trailing by as many as 16 points in the second half. However, showcasing the grit and resilience that has become a hallmark of Big 12 basketball, Texas Tech mounted a furious comeback. They chipped away at the lead, demonstrating composure under pressure and executing crucial plays down the stretch. The game ultimately came down to the wire. Texas Tech's Darrion Williams played the hero, tying the game with a clutch three-pointer in the closing seconds of regulation to force overtime. In the extra period, Williams once again came up big, scoring the go-ahead basket with just 7.3 seconds remaining on the clock.   The victory was a hard-fought one against a talented Arkansas team coached by John Calipari. The Razorbacks, despite being the lower seed, proved to be a formidable opponent, displaying their own offensive firepower and defensive tenacity. The game was a testament to the high level of competition found in the Sweet Sixteen. With this win, Texas Tech advances to the Elite Eight, continuing the Big 12's strong showing in the tournament. They are set to face top-seeded Florida in the West Region final, a highly anticipated matchup with a Final Four berth on the line. The Red Raiders' ability to overcome a significant deficit and secure the win highlights their mental toughness and reinforces the Big 12's reputation as a conference built for the challenges of March Madness.
