The game at United Supermarkets Arena saw the Red Raiders establish an early lead, ending the first half with 41 points against the Lions' 17. The second half continued in similar fashion as Texas Tech added another 32 points to their tally while limiting their opponents to just 29 additional points. The Red Raiders' offense was on full display with a field goal percentage of 42 and they excelled from the free-throw line hitting an impressive 83 percent of their shots.


Defensively, Texas Tech was equally dominant. They amassed a total of 48 rebounds compared to the Lions' 31 and blocked two shots over the course of play. Their defensive efforts were further highlighted by forcing a total of fourteen turnovers from which they scored fourteen points.


On offense, five three-pointers contributed to their scoreline along with thirty-two points in paint and twelve second-chance points. Despite committing eighteen turnovers themselves, they maintained an assists turnover ratio equal to that of their opponents at approximately one assist for every one-and-a-half turnovers.


The visiting Lions struggled offensively throughout the game; shooting under thirty percent from both inside and outside the arc. However, they did manage to block eight shots and steal twelve times from Texas Tech's possession but could not capitalize sufficiently on these opportunities.


As fans look ahead, anticipation builds for when Texas Tech will host San Jose State Spartans at United Supermarkets Arena on November 12th at 2:00 PM local time. This upcoming matchup promises more exciting basketball action for Red Raider supporters who can catch live coverage via ESPN+ internet broadcast network.
