Darrion Williams - Great performance in tourney exit Williams ended Saturday's 84-79 loss to Florida with 23 points (9-18 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 2-3 FT), five rebounds, one assist and three steals in 31 minutes.
Impact Williams closed out a strong run through the NCAA Tournament by leading Texas Tech with 23 points as their season came to a close just five points short of their second ever appearance in the Final Four. The first-team All-Big 12 performer, who hit the two biggest shots of the season for the Red Raiders during the Sweet 16, recorded at least 20 points in three of four contests during the tournament, averaging 21.0 points, 7.3 rebounds, 2.8 assists and 2.0 steals across 32.0 minutes. Williams retains one more year of eligibility should he decide to return for his senior season.

JT Toppin - Closes with 19th double-double Toppin amassed 20 points (9-22 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 0-5 FT), 11 rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal over 32 minutes during Saturday's 84-79 loss to Florida.
Impact Toppin closed out his stellar sophomore season by recording his 19th double-double, though it wasn't quite enough as the Red Raiders fell just short of their second ever Final Four appearance. The All-American finished with averages of 18.2 points, 9.4 rebounds and 1.5 blocks across 27.3 minutes per game. He now faces a decision during the offseason between entering the NBA Draft as a possible first-round prospect or returning to Texas Tech for another season.

Chance McMillian - Provides spark off bench McMillian finished Saturday's 84-79 loss to Florida with 14 points (5-11 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds and one assist across 26 minutes.
Impact McMillian (upper body) came off the bench and played a big role in his return following a four-game absence, seeing 26 minutes of action while contributing 14 points. The senior guard, who was named to the All-Big 12 second team, had missed six of the previous 10 games while averaging just 8.3 points across 26.8 minutes during the four games he played during that stretch after recording 15.1 points across his first 26 contests. While his return provided a spark, it was not quite enough as Texas Tech gave up a late nine-point lead and fell one game short of their second ever trip to the Final Four.

Who are the top 10 coaches in NCAA Men's Tournament history?
The NCAA Tournament shines a spotlight on coaches as much as players. Which coaches own March, though? Here are the top 10 all-time.1 DAY AGO
Christian Anderson - Paces Red Raiders with 22 points Anderson finished Thursday's 85-83 OT victory over Arkansas with 22 points (7-14 FG, 3-9 3Pt, 5-5 FT), four rebounds and three assists over 44 minutes.
Impact Anderson led the way for the Red Raiders with 22 points during Thursday's come-from-behind win over Arkansas in the Sweet 16. The point and minutes total represented a season high for the freshman guard, who continues to see big minutes in place of the injured Chance McMillian. Anderson has averaged 14.0 points across 39.3 minutes during his six starts but has also maintained healthy averages of 10.1 opints across 28.6 minutes off the bench this season. Therefore, even if McMillian is able to return in time for Saturday's matchup with Florida, Anderson will still retain a big role for the Red Raiders with a Final Four berth at stake.

Impact Toppin helped lead a 16-point comeback victory Thursday, a win that has Texas Tech in the Elite Eight.

His teammate Darrion Williams sent the game into overtime and then hit the game-winning shot in overtime, but Toppin's second half was a massive reason why the Red Raiders were able to pull off the improbable comeback.

Impact Williams hit the game-winning layup over two defenders with seven seconds remaining in overtime, completing a 16-point comeback to advance to the Elite Eight.

Next up he takes on Florida on Saturday with a spot in the Final Four on the line.
