No. 3 Texas Tech upsets No. 1 Gonzaga to reach its first-ever Final Four. MORE: MarchMadness
Davide Moretti opened up a late lead with the two most important 3-pointers of his life, Tariq Owens came up with a big rejection and the Red Raiders caught a ride straight to Minneapolis with a 75-69 victory over top-seeded Gonzaga on Saturday.
The first of them -a spot-up 3-pointer from the side of the arc- gave third-seeded Texas Tech a five-point lead, its largest to that point, with 3:49 remaining. The second came with 1:50 left and pushed the advantage to six. Gonzaga , which spent a good chunk of the season atop the AP Top 25, pulled within 71-69 on Zach Norvell Jr.'s putback with 11 seconds left. But Josh Perkins reached over the end line and tipped the ball out of Matt Mooney's hand as he was inbounding for a technical.
Jarrett Culver led the Red Raiders with 19 points, and Mooney, a transfer from South Dakota State, had 17.
