No. 3 Duke (11-1) is unbeaten no more.
Christian Anderson knocked down a free throw with 3.4 seconds to play, Cameron Boozer missed a three-pointer at the buzzer, and Texas Tech (9-3) walked away with perhaps the best win of the season so far in college basketball.
The Red Raiders trailed by 10 at halftime and by 17 with 16 and a half minutes to play.
The victory is a resume-defining one for Texas Tech, which had chances to earn marquee wins earlier in the season against No. 6 Purdue and No. 14 Arkansas but came up short. On Saturday, they put together their best performance of the year.
Texas Tech & Duke make different kinds of history
The win was the first for Texas Tech over a top-five team since they beat No. 1 Baylor on Jan. 11, 2022. It was the first time that Duke had blown a lead of 17 points since Feb. 4, 2007, when the Blue Devils, who had current head coach Jon Scheyer playing for them, fell 68-67 to Florida State in Durham.
