Inside United Supermarkets arena on Monday night, the lowest-scoring player on the Texas Tech basketball team, Andrei Savrasov, came within a single point of matching the scoring output of the Big 12’s second-leading scorer, TCU’s Desmond Bane. That’s just one way to put into perspective the 88-42 Red Raider victory over the Horned Frogs.
The 46-point blowout set a new mark for the largest margin of victory in a Big 12 game by any Red Raider team, surpassing the 35-point beating Tech haded to Oklahoma State in this season’s conference opener.
It all came down to putting the clamps on Bane, who had 27 points against Tech last month when the Frogs handed Chris Beard’s team a 65-54 loss in Fort Worth.
