LUBBOCK, Texas (AP) -- Ronald Ross scored 30 points and Devonne Giles added 22 _ career highs for each _ as Texas Tech beat San Francisco 97-53 on Saturday.
Tech (7-3) led most of the way and kept the Dons (8-4) well below their 74 points-per-game average. The Red Raiders steadily built their lead, which was up to 44 points three times.
Ross had 23 of his points in the first half, hitting 10-of-11 from the field, including three consecutive 3-pointers in just more than two minutes to put the Red Raiders up 37-17.
Ross' previous career high of 25 points came in a 79-69 win over Colorado in March. On Saturday, he finished 13-of-16 from the field and was flawless in his four 3-point shots, which tied his career high for shots from behind the arc.
He got four 3-pointers in a 75-66 win over Baylor last January.
Giles, whose previous career high of 20 points came in a 82-77 loss to Oklahoma State in March, also had 17 rebounds. Daryl Dora added 10 for Tech.
John Cox, who led the West Coast Conference in scoring coming into the game (22.2 points per game), scored 18 points. Johnny Dukes added 13 points for USF.
San Francisco struggled from the field at just 33 percent shooting, and also had to go most of the way without coach Jessie Evans.
Evans was hit with his second technical late in the first half and was ejected.
Tech led 53-26 at halftime. The Red Raiders used a 14-0 run to build a 34-11 lead. Cox ended the Dons' drought with a field goal at the 8:20 mark of the first half.
