<span style="font-family: Aptos, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">As a team, BU shot just under 50-percent from the field, with Cameron Carr leading the Bears in points (18), rebounds (9) and assists (5). </span></p>

players with 20-plus points on the night. </span></p>

<p class="MsoBodyText" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Aptos, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">Texas Tech set the tone right from the opening tip, knocking down a three on the first possession. Carr made an early defensive highlight with a big block, but the Red Raiders
stayed hot from beyond the arc and quickly built a lead. Baylor got on the board with a mid-range jumper from Tounde Yessoufou, but Texas Tech maintained an early 14-8 advantage.</span></p>
<p class="MsoBodyText" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; margin: 0in;">

<span style="font-family: Aptos, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">Midway through the half, Texas Tech capitalized on a Baylor scoring drought and struggles at the free-throw line. Back-to-back three-pointers stretched the lead to double digits,
and an and-one bucket extended the advantage to 16 heading into the second media timeout. Baylor responded when Obi Agbim hit a jumper and later connected with Carr on an alley-oop, sparking a brief rally. Dan Skillings Jr. fueled an 8-0 run with back-to-back
scores, cutting the deficit to eight.</span></p>

<span style="font-family: Aptos, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">Texas Tech quickly regained control with consecutive three-pointers. Carr added a highlight dunk late in the half, and the Red Raiders capped the period with a buzzer-beating
three, taking a commanding 55-36 lead into halftime.</span></p>

<span style="font-family: Aptos, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">The Red Raiders opened the second half by scoring first, stretching the lead to 21. Caden Powell responded with a layup, but Texas Tech answered with two buckets in the paint
to maintain control. Agbim hit a mid-range jumper, and back-to-back layups from Yessoufou and Carr trimmed the gap slightly with just under 14 minutes remaining.</span></p>

<span style="font-family: Aptos, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">Texas Tech remained efficient, hitting a three-pointer to rebuild its cushion. Carr and Yessoufou scored back-to-back layups, and Isaac Williams IV knocked down a three to keep
Baylor within striking distance. However, turnovers and Texas Tech’s hot shooting allowed the Red Raiders to extend their lead to 25 with under eight minutes to play.</span></p>

and continuing its dominant run. The Red Raiders closed strong, securing a 92-73 win. </span></p>
