Picture Patrick Mahomes, the NFL’s king of comebacks, screaming into his phone like he just launched a game-winning Hail Mary. But this time, it’s not the Chiefs—it’s Texas Tech basketball, and the drama is sweeter than a Texas pecan pie.
On March 27, the Red Raiders pulled off a March Madness miracle, erasing a 16-point deficit to stun Arkansas 85-83 in overtime—the second-largest Sweet 16 comeback ever. Down 13 with six minutes left, Texas Tech unleashed a 16-3 run, capped by Darrion Williams’ icy step-back three to force OT. “AHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!” Mahomes tweeted, echoing every Tech fan’s heartbeat. Besides, Mahomes’ connection runs deeper than sideline hype.
Last year, the Chiefs star donated $5 million to Tech’s new $242 million football facility, fueling a Red Raider revolution. “LETS GOOOOO!!!!!” he roared postgame, mirroring the swagger of a program all-in on winning. Boosters like billionaire Cody Campbell have turbocharged recruiting, landing a top-3 transfer class. “We’re not planning on being left behind,” Campbell said.
LETS GOOOOO!!!!!

Meanwhile, Williams—a hometown hero from Vallejo—dropped 21 points, sealing his legacy beside Tech’s 2019 Final Four squad. “We just want to go win,” he shrugged. But the party’s just starting.
Tech faces No. 1 Florida next, chasing its first title. With Mahomes’ cash and Lubbock’s oil-money muscle, the Raiders are cooking like a Texas BBQ pit—slow-smoked, but fiery when it counts.
This story is unfolding—stay locked in for the latest.
