Vallejo tough: Texas Tech guard Chance McMillian leaves it all on the floor in final collegiate game

SAN FRANCISCO — There was no guarantee Texas Tech would have senior guard Chance McMillian available for Saturday’s Elite Eight game against Florida. 

The 6-foot-3 guard had been dealing with an oblique injury for two weeks that kept him out of the team’s last four games and all three of Texas Tech’s NCAA Tournament contests. 

Texas Tech coach Grant McCasland had no expectations for McMillian to play, especially after he was a late scratch for the Red Raiders’ Sweet 16 game against Arkansas.
