But it's not just Washington who has been making an impact for Texas Tech. Darrion Williams has also been a standout player, averaging 16 points and 11 rebounds per game over the last three games. His dominant presence in the paint and ability to grab offensive rebounds will be crucial for the Red Raiders' success against the Cougars.
