No. 15 Texas Tech does it all right in win over Oklahoma State

While there was plenty of offense, Texas Tech's defense was what turned the tide in a 102-80 triumph over visiting Oklahoma State on Saturday as the teams opened the Big 12 Conference season in Lubbock, Texas.

Balanced scoring and 21 assists on 37 made shots were keys for Texas Tech (11-3, 1-0), and J.T. Toppin helped his team control the backboards 48-36.

The Cowboys came into the league campaign as the second-best scoring offense in the Big 12 but it was the Red Raiders who notched their highest scoring output this season.
