Tarik Phillip's Dunk Ices Win For West Virginia Over Texas Tech [VIDEO]

West Virginia is considered one of the better teams in the nation right now (No. 6 in the AP Poll), but they were pushed pretty hard by Texas Tech Saturday afternoon. The Mountaineers held a lead for most of the first half only to fall behind 43-40 at the end of the first half. For much of the second half the Red Raiders managed to hold onto the lead, and were ahead 76-72 with 70 seconds to go.

At that point West Virginia guard Tarik Phillip took over the game scoring the last eight points--including a nice dunk for the final two--to lead the Mountaineers to a 80-76 win:
