JT Toppin has double-double, No. 20 Texas Tech beats UNO for 43rd
non-conference home win in a row
LUBBOCK, Texas (AP) --- JT Toppin scored 19 points and grabbed 16 rebounds as
No. 20 Texas Tech rebounded from a lopsided loss to beat New Orleans 82-50 on
Wednesday.
Christian Anderson added 23 points with six 3-pointers and five assists for the
Red Raiders (5-2), who were coming off a 30-point loss to No. 1 Purdue five
days earlier in the Bahamas. Donovan Atwell had 13 points in 23 minutes before
fouling out with 8:43 left in the game, and Luke Bamgboye also scored 13 points
and LeJuan Watts had 12.
The Red Raiders extended their non-conference home winning streak to 43 games
in a row, the last 20 with third-year coach Grant McCasland. They haven't lost
a nonconference home game since an overtime loss to No. 15 Kentucky in January
2020.
Jakevion Buckley led New Orleans (2-5) with 16 points. The Privateers, who
haven't yet played a regular-season game at home, were coming off an overtime
loss Monday night at Mississippi State.
Toppin, the preseason AP All-America junior forward, scored the Red Raiders'
first six points in a 12-2 run to start the second half that put them up by
double-digits the rest of the game. Toppin finished with his third
double-double this season, and 22nd in his 39 games with Texas Tech.
A 10-0 run midway through the first half put Tech ahead to stay. That spurt
started with Anderson's 3-pointer that made it 20-18, and ended with his free
throw 2 1/2 minutes later.
