When your coach and the top scorer are both ejected in the first minutes of a game on the road against a higher class team that won 33 games in a row, you are supposed to lose.
No real person would dispute this sentence, right?
Thus, after the Texas Tech striker, JT Toppin, was ejected in a way that challenged the good sense of less than four minutes after the Tap of the favor of the Red Raiders has become even longer.
Texas Tech was supposed to lose.
But thanks to a large dose of shooting at 3 points, a pair of free clutch shots McMillian with 16.5 seconds remaining in overtime and a last defensive judgment on the final possession of Houston, Texas Tech did not do What was supposed to do. Instead, the Red Raiders won 82-81 in Houston and, once again, broke the 33-game cougars victories sequence inside the Fertitta Center which lasted more than two years. In addition, they gave themselves a quadrant 1 victory which is undoubtedly the best that everyone is recorded all season, well considered.
“We had a television flow in the changing rooms (and Toppin) jumped from top to bottom and celebrated so hard, and it was probably one of the greatest hugs I have ever had in my life – really,” said McCasland. “Because there was a real conviction that we were still going to win this match. He was just incredulous to explain why he was ejected.”
We were also the rest of us.
To date, you may have seen it. Otherwise, take a look.
What you just looked at is that Toppin is doubled, how much he had to move the ball quickly. The main problem (apart from the two men standing in front of him) was that Toppin is left -handed and was suddenly trapped while holding the ball as if he were a right -handed launcher working out of the trunction. So he had to turn his body into the air to pass the cross pass which he had to do. When he did this, his right leg gave himself up in the air in a more natural than deliberate way when she connected to an extremely sensitive area of the body of Joseph Tugler.
It is what happened.

Only a non-serious person would even try to suggest what had happened there was worthy of an ejection. So I understand why McCasland was furious; He should have been. Anyway, everything is fine that ends well. SO McCasland and Toppin were all smiles on Saturday night – And they are now the faces of a team classified 15th in the CBS Sports 25 and 1 basketball ranking for Sunday morning, where Auburn remains n ° 1 for the 26th consecutive day.
