Texas Tech is the best defensive team I've seen in over 2 decades .....
Huge concern about TARIQ OWENS 
He has been a major piece in everyone of their wins ...
Blocking shots , boxing out , diving for loose balls ....
Ankle injuries are NO JOKE , especially for 6"10 shot blockers
One key to Texas Tech’s defensive success has been the shot-blocking presence of 6-10 forward Tariq Owens, but he could be limited for Monday’s NCAA championship game because of a right ankle sprain.
Owens, who made the Big 12’s all-defensive team, had three blocks in Saturday’s win over Michigan State but rolled the ankle in the second half. He limped to the locker room, had the ankle taped and returned to play for a few minutes before heading back to the bench.
Owens said after the game that he had an X-ray that showed nothing broken. On Sunday, he was in a walking boot during Texas Tech’s practice, according to the Lubbock Avalanche-Journal. He was also unavailable to the media for the first time during the Final Four.
Coach Chris Beard said Owens was “pretty sore” but that he expects him to play Monday. Owens averages 8.8 points and 5.8 rebounds per game.
