Tadlock, Golloway both make case for Big 12 with NCAA selection committee

An inside edge OKLAHOMA CITY — Texas Tech head coach Tim Tadlock spent six seasons as an assistant coach and recruiting coordinator for Oklahoma, so he had some extra familiarity with the Sooners’ hitters. That knowledge helped devise a solid pitching game plan against OU, and starter Dominic Moreno executed it well, holding the Sooners to two runs on seven hits in seven innings with five strikeouts. Sooners coach Sunny Golloway realized that fact and tried to disguise things against the Red Raiders, but still struggled as Tadlock knew OU’s tendencies.

Loss means Tech will wind up 2013 season against Baylor on Saturday

OKLAHOMA CITY — Texas Tech has gotten the starting pitching it needed to be successful in its first two games of the Big 12 Championship at Chickasaw Bricktown Ballpark. But the offensive woes that plagued the eighth-seeded Red Raiders for all but about the last 10 games of the season returned at the most inopportune time, and as a result, guaranteed that Saturday’s tournament finale will also be the last game of the season.

OKLAHOMA CITY — The one advantage Texas Tech had in facing No. 1 seed Kansas State in the first round of the Big 12 Championship on Thursday was the one it didn’t have against the Wildcats earlier in the season in Manhattan. But not even ace right-hander Trey Masek, who missed the regular-season series against Kansas State due to arm and shoulder tendinits, was able completely stop the best hitting club in the conference, not even with one of his best outings of the year.
