Only twice had Texas Tech managed to keep the final score within 10 points at Allen Fieldhouse, so naturally Chris Beard‘s squad methodically beat the Jayhawks by 12 points to send shockwaves throughout the conference.
In 2015, Vanderbilt head coach Kevin Stallings‘ on-court behavior led to headlines after an outburst at one of his own players. Late in last Tuesday’s loss to Louisville, Pittsburgh head coach Stallings was back with a headline-grabbing outburst, this time directed at a fan.

LSU’s Tremont Waters with a deep three-pointer to grab the Tigers a win at #11 Texas A&M…
Late Sunday night, Stanford went half-court to beat USC…
Another week, another surprise scholarship being awarded…
