After the game, Texas Tech head coach Grant McCasland spoke about who was to blame for the loss<\/a>, according to Charlie Potter on On3.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat a tough night for our team. Man, Alabama was awesome. I thought they were so much more aggressive on both ends of the floor. They got after us defensively,\u201d McCasland opened his press conference with. \u201cThey disrupted us, and then they were downhill on every action, and I just thought they were in attack mode. And this one\u2019s on me. I didn\u2019t have us ready to go.\u201d<\/p>\n

McCasland blamed himself for the loss. It was a dominating performance for the Tide. The game saw just one lead change, and after Alabama took the 10-7 lead, just over four minutes into the game. Texas Tech would never come back.<\/p>\n
