On a night when Texas Tech basketball fans said good by to a local landmark, it was only fitting that one of Lubbock’s native sons stole the show. Sophomore Jarrett Culver scored a career-high 30 points on 12-13 shooting as the Red Raiders won the final basketball game ever to be played in the Lubbock Municipal Coliseum 82-48 over Abilene Christian.
The win moved Tech to 10-0 on the season, its best start in the modern era, and set up a potentially program-defining showdown with No. 2 Duke Thursday night in New York City. Culver was joined in double-figures by senior Matt Mooney (14 points) and freshman Kyler Edwards (10 points) as Tech shot 55.
