Texas Tech's Chance McMillian Ruled Out for Sweet 16 Clash with Arkansas
Big news coming out of the Texas Tech camp—Chance McMillian will not be suiting up for the Red Raiders in their Sweet 16 showdown against Arkansas. The star guard has been sidelined for the fourth consecutive game due to a strained oblique, and the team will have to find a way to advance without one of their most reliable scorers.
Texas Tech has managed to survive McMillian’s absence so far, securing victories in their first two March Madness matchups. But with the stakes even higher now, going up against an Arkansas team that’s hungry for a win, his absence could be felt more than ever.

McMillian was a crucial piece of the puzzle this season, earning second-team All-Big 12 honors and putting up career-best numbers. He averaged 14.2 points and 4.1 rebounds per game while shooting an impressive 52.5% from the field and 43.4% from beyond the arc. His ability to stretch the floor and knock down big shots made him a nightmare for defenses, and Texas Tech will now have to lean on other players to fill that void.
Darrion Williams has been one of the players stepping up in McMillian’s absence, and the Red Raiders will need another strong performance from him to keep their tournament run alive. Arkansas, on the other hand, is well aware of the advantage they now have with one of Texas Tech’s key weapons sidelined.
With or without McMillian, this is March Madness—anything can happen. Texas Tech has already shown resilience, and now they’ll have to dig even deeper to punch their ticket to the Elite Eight. Fans will be watching closely to see if the Red Raiders can rise to the challenge or if Arkansas will capitalize on their opponent’s misfortune. One thing’s for sure—tonight’s game is going to be a battle.
