Texas Tech basketball: What we learned from loss to No. 2 Duke

The Texas Tech basketball team has fallen from the ranks of the unbeaten after Thursday night’s 69-58 loss to No. 2 Duke at Madison Square Garden in New York. Leading 55-53 with 6:25 to play, Tech had an opportunity to pull off the upset. Unfortunately, the Devils closed the game on a 16-3 run to make the score look more lopsided than the game actually was.

“Great, great game,” Duke head coach Mike Krzyzewski said. “Tough to score for both teams. Both teams are such good defensive teams and played their butts off. The Garden was electric.
