Social Media Erupts as Kansas Loses Late to No. 10 Texas Tech

In this story:
Despite trailing almost the entire afternoon as it hosted No. 10 Texas Tech, Kansas tied things at 73 with 1:47 left in Saturday's contest.
That was the good news.
The bad was that Kansas wouldn't score again in the final 107 seconds and fell to the Red Raiders, 78-73. The loss sets Kansas back to 19-10 overall on the season and 10-8 in Big 12 play while Texas Tech improved to 22-7 overall and 13-5 in conference.
Social media was all over the Saturady afternoon affair that came on the 70th birthday of Allen Fieldhouse. Check out some of the best social media posts during and immediately following the game below.

Kansas vs. Texas Tech: Not Exactly a Banner Finish Either Way
That was one butt-ugly ending in Lawrence. On a lot of levels. Tech couldn’t get the ball in bounds. Officials had NO idea what was going on. Horrific execution by Kansas on offense. Yeesh.
