Texas Tech Red Raiders
Last time out, Texas Tech hosted the West Virginia Mountaineers and were comfortably beaten 76-61. Texas Tech led all of the first half until the final 90 seconds when they allowed the Mountaineers to go on a run and lead by five at the half. The Mountaineers carried that momentum into the second half to earn the impressive double-digit road win. Texas Tech trailed by as many as 16 points, led by as much as 10, and lost outright as three-point home favorites.
Kevin Obanor had 20 points, eight rebounds, and three steals on the night. Deivon Harmon added 14 points, two assists, and one steal in the defeat.
Through 20 games, Texas Tech is scoring 74.5 points per game, shooting 46.7% from the field, and assisting on 13.8 made shots. The Red Raiders are allowing 67.0 points, grabbing 35.2 rebounds, blocking 3.3 shots, and stealing the ball 8.2 times.
LSU Tigers
LSU visited the Arkansas Razorbacks and were soundly beaten 60-40. The Tigers lost by 20 and that still is flattering to them as they were incredibly unimpressive and could have lost this one by 50. LSU trailed by as many as 25 points, never led in the game, and did not cover the +12.5-point spread.
KJ Williams had nine points, 11 rebounds, one assist, two steals, and two blocks in the defeat.
After 20 games, LSU is scoring 66.5 points per game, shooting 42.1% from the field, and assisting on 12.5 made shots. The Tigers are allowing 67.2 points, grabbing 34.6 rebounds, blocking 2.6 shots, and stealing the ball 7.3 times.
