Texas Tech senior guard Brandone Francis is a native of the Dominican Republic, and he has not seen his mother in more than two years.
Well, the Red Raiders found a way to work out her visa issues, according to ESPN, so Kenia Ramirez made her first ever trip to the United States to watch her son play in his final game as a collegian.
