Kevin Obanor led the Texas Tech Red Raiders (20-6, 9-4) with 23 as Texas Tech outmuscled Baylor 83-73.
The game was decided in the second half when Baylor went on a 2-12 stretch that coughed up a the lead and allowed Tech to seize control. The Raiders’s offense came largely on and-1 attempts (several with dubious calls) and knock-down shooting from Obanor and Terrance Shannon (14 pts).
