Basketball stretches win streak to 8

No. 13 Texas Tech basketball faced off against Arkansas-Pine Bluff last Wednesday in the United Supermarkets Arena. With the non-conference home winning streak of 42 games on the line, Coach Beard and company got to work. Coming in for UAPB, Martaveous McKnight is one of the premiere shooters in the NCAA averaging 25 points per game and would manage 27 against the Red Raiders - but his team was unable to keep pace. For the third time this season the Texas Tech defense held their opponents to under 50 points. The offensive production was a lackluster effort, managing a season-low 41.9%. Despite that, leaders like Jarrett Culver (13 points), Matt Mooney (11 points) and Kyler Edwards (10 points) had double-digit nights while Tariq Owens, Davide Moretti notched nine each. Norense Odiase and Deshawn Corprew assisted with keeping the offensive efforts alive with six rebounds. The game finished with a resounding 18-point margin of victory for the Red Raiders taking care of UAPB 65-47. Up next Texas Tech will take on Northwestern State December 12 (Wednesday) at 6:30pm.
