Meanwhile, the point spread may have favored Texas Tech last Tuesday, but the final result did not. They took a 81-69 hit to the loss column at the hands of the Longhorns. Texas Tech has been going strong on the season, but this is now their second loss in a row.

Texas Tech's loss came about despite a quality game from Darrion Williams, who scored 16 points along with eight rebounds and two steals.

The Mountaineers dropped their record down to 9-19 with that defeat, which was their eighth straight on the road. As for the Red Raiders, their loss ended a three-game streak of wins at home and dropped them to 19-9.
