Pretty much everything that could’ve gone wrong tonight did, and you still beat a good team on a neutral floor.

Wake Forest is continuing their strong end to the first half. Deacs are currently on a 21-5 run.

Key halftime stats: Wake Forest ends the half on a 10-0 run TTU: 5-of-21 from three TTU: 9 fouls TTU: 10 assists, 8 TOs JT Toppin: 12 pts, 5 rebs

JT Toppin doing a lot of the heavy lifting here early, pouring in 12 of the Red Raiders’ 25 points so far.

This team is playing with a level of speed and juice that I’m not sure I’ve seen this season. Impressive, particularly after the travel.

What a start for the Red Raiders, who just made three threes in a row. Atwell, Anderson, and Bryan all cash one in.

Three key areas of the game tonight vs. Wake Forest: 1) Who wins the glass? TTU has a 40.3 OREB% (93rd Percentile) and averages 15 2nd-chance PPG (86th P). They have struggled on the defensive glass, allowing a 32.5 opp. OREB% and 12.3 2nd-chance PPG. WF is also a good

Loads of good stuff in here. Well worth your time. https://t.co/Tz8NVTpjgp

Texas Tech vs. Wake Forest, by the numbers. Spread Vegas: TTU -9.5 KenPom: TTU -7 T-Rank: TTU -5.3 Total Vegas: 157.5 KenPom: 155 T-Rank: 155

Arizona is very, very, very good. And there’s still a lot of reason to believe they can get better.

Been really impressed with Wake Forest lead guard Nate Calmese while watching film on the Deacs this week. Plays with great pace in the PnR, sees the floor clearly, and a very capable spot up shooter. 46.7 3P%, 4.0 AST/TOV ratio. A guy to watch out for tomorrow night.

A lot of talk this week headed into Baha Mar will revolve around a potential Purdue matchup, but overlooking Wake Forest would be a mistake. Deacs play incredibly fast, turn opponents over, defend the perimeter very well, and crash the offensive glass. Good team.

As a freshman @chrisanders2024 set a @TexasTechMBB program record with 71 made 3 Pointers ... he is now a true floor general for the @AP_Top25 Texas Tech Red Raiders. Most assists in @NCAA... and 2nd best BPR, according to @EvanMiya 19.5 PPG 9.0 APG 4.3 RPG 2.7 SPG

Christian Anderson looks like a completely different player than who he was last year. Once a score-first, primarily off-ball guard, Anderson is now playing like the best point guard in the country. More for @GamblinGauchos Patreon subscribers ⤵️ https://t.co/e679o7imhi

Wrote about what I’m #noticing from Texas Tech basketball through four games, including: - The offensive vs. defensive splits - Christian Anderson’s new role - The odd offensive/defensive rebounding disparity For @GamblinGauchos Patreon subs: https://t.co/e679o7imhi

Here are the players with the best statistical output in college basketball two weeks into the season, according to Box BPR at https://t.co/cegyfz96ax, adjusted for opponent strength. Cameron Boozer is head and shoulders above everyone else.

MY WEEK TWO BIG 12 BASKETBALL POWER RANKINGS Movement was much less dramatic after last week compared to the season opener, but we’re in store for a week of monster games across the league. Brace yourself.

Christian Anderson currently leads all NCAA DI players in total assists this season with 36 through four games.

I love Texas Tech
