Texas Tech catches fire in second half of 15-point win over USC

Jarrett Culver and Tariq Owens had 18 points apiece to lead four players in double-figures scoring, and Texas Tech rallied from a big first-half hole to beat USC 78-63 in the semifinals of the Hall of Fame Classic at Spring Center on Monday night.

Davide Moretti and Matt Mooney each added 17 points for the Red Raiders (4-0), who advanced to Tuesday night's championship game against former Big 12 foe Nebraska.

Texas Tech was cold from the opening tip, and USC used a 10-0 run to build a 30-17 lead late in the first half. But the Red Raiders finally got on track out of the locker room, using a 14-2 charge to take their first lead since the opening minutes.
