For the first time this season, the Texas Tech basketball team allowed an opponent to score at least 70 points. But few expected that feat to be accomplished by the Baylor Bears.
Entering the game as the worst shooting 3-point team in the Big 12 at just 31.3%, Baylor drained 11-29 shots from behind the arc and the Red Raiders were not able to keep pace. Troubled all game by Baylor’s active 1-3-1 zone, Tech shot just 5-15 from 3-point range and turned the ball over 17 times.
Leading 16-4 after the first six minutes of play, the Red Raiders would go into a drought of over 10 minutes without a field goal as Baylor ended the half on a 23-8 run to take a 33-31 advantage.
