"Texas Tech is good. Good enough to play into April again. On Wednesday night, the Red Raiders ran away from visiting Utah early and stayed there, winning by a final score of 88-74. JT Toppin played as a reigning and likely future Big 12 player of the year should, with 31 points and 13 rebounds, and seven assists. Tech is now 13-4,"
"They beat then-third-ranked Duke by a point in Madison Square Garden over the holidays in the thrillingest regular season game I'd seen in years. There's another biggie Saturday, with Tech hosting 11th ranked BYU. This Red Raiders roster is as deep as Lubbock is flat. Sophomore superstar-in-waiting Christian Anderson put up 26 points and 10 assists on Wednesday night. Freshman Jaylen Petty only put up 8 points against the Utes, but he's had two 20-point games out of the last five."
Texas Tech defeated Utah 88-74 behind JT Toppin's 31 points, 13 rebounds, and seven assists. The basketball team sits 13-4, ranked 15th in the ESPN coaches poll and 3-1 in Big 12 play. The program has delivered signature wins, including a one-point victory over then-third-ranked Duke, and faces another top opponent in BYU. Sophomore Christian Anderson scored 26 points with 10 assists, while freshman Jaylen Petty has produced multiple 20-point outings recently. Success extends across athletics: the softball team nearly reached the World Series and the football program finished with 12 wins, a conference title, and a playoff bye. A Tech alumnus from the 1980s contrasts past football futility with the current breadth of achievement.
