 LUBBOCK, Texas (AP) - Bob Knight's quest for record-setting victory No. 880 will have to wait until 2007. Knight's Texas Tech team fell behind UNLV early and never recovered, losing 74-66 Thursday night to leave him and Dean Smith tied atop the men's Division I win list.
The Red Raiders trailed by 19 almost midway through the second half and the frustration might have gotten to Knight because he got his first technical of the season with 3:54 left. However, Tech was starting to rally then and kept it up, getting to 68-62 with 1:38 left. UNLV protected its lead by making six straight foul shots.
Knight's next chance to own the record by himself comes Monday in a New Year's Day game at home against New Mexico. History is on his side because he's never needed more than two tries to hit milestones such as 300, 400, 600, 700 and 800.
