It looks like Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) is Texas Tech's bad luck charm.

Cruz tweeted a selfie yesterday from the NCAA championship game at U.S. Bank Stadium in Minneapolis and observed that Texas Tech held a 1-point lead with 35 seconds left in regulation.

"35 Seconds. ONE Point LEAD. GO RED RAIDERS!!! #1 Defense," he wrote.

But Cruz spoke too soon, and Texas Tech fans claimed he jinxed the game after the team was defeated in an 85-77 overtime victory by Virginia.

Cruz didn't address the roasting, but he did praise Texas Tech in a tweet afterward.

"A heartbreaking loss, but an AMAZING game," he wrote.

This isn't the first time Cruz has made (rather hilarious headlines) for being a jinx.

Last year, his #ClutchCity tweet during Game 7 of the Warriors/Rockets series last year was also roasted.

Fans said the tweet was the reason for Houston missing 27 straight attempts from 3-point range in defeat.

Poor Senator Cruz. He just can't win.

Trump Dragged After Making Ridiculous Claim About Randomly Finding Billions On The 'Tariff Shelf'

President Donald Trump was criticized after he claimed to reporters this week that officials in his administration suddenly found $30 billion they "never knew existed"—located on what Trump referred to as the "tariff shelf."

Tariffs are a tax on imported goods, usually calculated as a percentage of the purchase price. While tariffs can shield domestic manufacturers by making foreign products more expensive, they are also used as a tool to penalize countries engaged in unfair trade practices, such as government subsidies or dumping goods below market value.

Bride's Friends Surprise Her With Montage Video Of All Her Exes At Bachelorette Party—And People Are Mortified

While Jenny Han's novel To All the Boys I've Loved Before was a major hit, and even became a great film success in 2018, not everyone's married to the idea of reconnecting with their exes after the relationships end.

It might be nice to imagine staying friends after the relationships, imagining our exes missing us or regretting losing us, or even giving us an apology for the things they did wrong. But most of us pine for this for a little while, realize it's all a fairy tale, and push past it to better things and new love.

But while most of us complain about it to ourselves and leave it at that, TikToker Alexa McNee stepped up for all of us and called it out.
