LUBBOCK, Texas - Texas Tech's No. 20 Red Raiders bounced back from a 30-point loss to No. 1 Purdue with an 82-50 victory over New Orleans on Wednesday. Junior forward JT Toppin led the charge with 19 points and a season-high 16 rebounds, while Christian Anderson added 23 points, including six 3-pointers. The Red Raiders, under third-year coach Grant McCasland, have now won 43 consecutive non-conference home games, a streak that dates back to an overtime loss to No. 15 Kentucky in January 2020. This winning streak is a testament to the team's resilience and determination. Toppin's dominant performance, including the first six points of a 12-2 run in the second half, sealed the win for the Red Raiders. Midway through the first half, a 10-0 run, sparked by Anderson's 3-pointer, gave Tech the lead, which they never relinquished. The Red Raiders will look to continue their winning ways on Sunday against Wyoming, while New Orleans will travel to Memphis on Wednesday.
