What a crazy day it was on Sunday with not one, not two, but three regional hosts going down. The day started off in College Station with the resumption of Saturday’s match between Texas A&M and Texas and it finished in Lubbock with SMU kicking the door down and stunning Texas Tech.When the season started if you told me that Texas would be in Tulsa for the NCAA Round of 16 I would have told you to go see a doctor.
