The Red Raiders had a final chance when Mac McClung sprinted down the floor and launched a mid-range jumper as time expired, but his shot was off target.

The final flurry came after the teams traded three timeouts with 16.2 seconds on the clock after West Virginia's Taz Sherman corralled a defensive rebound following a missed 3-point attempt by Texas Tech's Terrence Shannon Jr.

West Virginia (11-4, 4-3 Big 12) climbed back to tie the score 84-84 on McBride's 3-pointer with 1:36 to go, but McClung answered with a wide-open 3-pointer to put Texas Tech (11-5, 4-4) back in front 87-84 with 1:10 on the clock.

Limited to only two field-goal attempts in the game's initial 12 minutes, McClung ignited a hot start for the Red Raiders to open the second half. He scored 15 points in the first eight minutes as Texas Tech turned a 39-39 deadlock into a 64-52 lead.
