When your coach and leading scorer are both ejected in the opening minutes of a road game against a higher-ranked team that's won 33 straight at home, you're supposed to lose. No real person would take issue with that sentence,

Texas Tech athletic director Kirby Hocutt said he was “appalled” at an ejection that happened during his team’s 82-81 upset overtime win at No. 6 Houston on Saturday night. JT Toppin was tossed from the game in the first half after his leg made contact with, uh, a sensitive area on Joseph Tugler’s body.

Texas Tech coach Grant McCasland watched the No. 22 Red Raiders’ 82-81 overtime victory over No. 6 Houston from the locker room after he was ejected less than four minutes into the game.
