Games 598-600: Final four is set
NCAA Tournament regional finals
600 - (3) Texas Tech vs. (1) Villanova
March 25 at TD Garden in Boston, MA
CBS
The Wildcats got to their second final four in three seasons (and third in Jay Wright's 17 seasons) thanks to huge edges in rebounding (51-33) and at the free throw line (29-of-35, Tech attempted 18).
I'd put Villanova as a slight favorite to win the whole thing, though Midwest champion Kansas, its opponent in next week's national semifinals, is just as capable of winning two more games.

Not much more to say about the Missouri Valley Conference champions, which shot 57% from the field, hit half of their 18 three-point attempts and rolled into the program's first final four since winning the title in 1963.
This was actually the first comfortable outcome for the Ramblers, who won by a combined four points in their first three tournament games, but 78-62 on Saturday. This one really wasn't all that close for much of the day. Ben Richardson was fantastic (23 points on 7-of-10 shooting) and his 3-pointer 3 1/2 minutes into the game put Loyola up for good. The lead grew to as much as 61-38 on a Lucas Williamson lay-up with 9:40 to go.
What a run and it continues in the national semifinals, next Saturday against Michigan.

What a second half for Keenan Evans.
The senior scored 19 of his 23 points in the second half and Texas Tech moved on with a 70-60 win.
Stephen F. Austin led by as much as eight points at 39-31 a couple minutes into the second half, but the Red Raiders chipped away and eventually took the lead for good on an Evans' lay-up with four minutes to play.
It's the first NCAA win for Texas Tech since the 2004-05 team beat Gonzaga to reach the Sweet 16.
The Southland Conference champions didn't make a field goal over the final 5:24, and in particular, Ivan Canete didn't make a bucket over the final 13 minutes of the game and had just two of his team-high 17 points during that final stretch.

Game 486 - Texas Tech at Texas
January 17 at Frank Erwin Center in Austin, TX
Longhorn Network
Texas Tech lost at Texas for the 22nd consecutive time on Wednesday, allowing Kerwin Roach to score 20 points off the bench in a 67-58 defeat.
The last Red Raider victory at the Frank Erwin Center came in February, 1996 when both teams were a member of the Southwest Conference. A month later, that Texas Tech team was 30-1 (!) and on a 23-game winning streak heading into an eventual loss in the Sweet 16 to No. 2 seed Georgetown (!), who lost to top seed Massachusetts (!) in the Elite 8. THAT'S how long ago was the last Tech win in Austin.
The streak continued because Texas played really well in the second half offensively - 11-for-19 from the field - and Mo Bamba led a strong defensive effort overall. The visitors shot just 38% from the field and Bamba not only blocked five shots (he averaged 4.5 coming in, second nationally to Marshall's Ajdin Penava), but changed the way Tech ran its offense. A handful of times Texas Tech guards drove into the paint, saw Bamba, and then just left the paint to try something else.
The great defensive big men like the freshman Bamba do two things: (1) block shots; (2) make you alter/restart possessions.
And Bamba also contributed 15 points and 11 rebounds for Texas, which evened its Big 12 record at 3-3. The Longhorns' three league losses have come by a combined 16 points.
Each bench made an impact as Tech got huge contributions from Jarrett Culver (16 points, nine rebounds) and Brandone Francis (13 points, 3-of-6 on 3-pointers), though those two equaled the point total of the five starters.
