Texas Tech beat the Louisiana Tech Bulldogs to go 7-3 and give Coach Knight his 876th victory. Coach Knight is now tied with Adolph Rupp and trails Dean Smith (879) by 3 wins.
Texas Tech 66 - Louisiana Tech 59
When asked about tying Rupp, who coached at Kentucky from 1930-1972, Knight talked about the years he played at Ohio State.
"The thing I remember about Adolph Rupp is that one time I scored seven points against the ornery son of a bitch to help beat him," Knight said, referring to Ohio State's 87-74 victory over the Wildcats in the 1961 NCAA tournament. "That's a lot bigger in my memory than this."
