**SAN FRANCISCO** – Texas Tech basketball fans received a major boost this afternoon as it was confirmed that key player Chance McMillian will return to the court for the team’s Elite Eight matchup against Florida. McMillian, who has been sidelined for the past four games due to a strained oblique, participated in pregame warmups approximately 75 minutes before tip-off at Chase Center.
A team spokesperson confirmed McMillian’s availability shortly before the game. The second-team All-Big 12 selection averaged career highs of 14.2 points and 4.1 rebounds per game this season, shooting an impressive 52.5% from the field and 43.4% from beyond the arc. His return is a significant addition to the Red Raiders’ lineup as they face a tough challenge against the Gators in their quest for a Final Four berth.
