Texas Tech vs Texas Preview
The 11th-ranked Texas Tech Red Raiders (20-6, 9-4 Big 12) take on the 20th-ranked Texas Longhorns (19-7, 8-5 Big 12) in a battle of top-20 intrastate conference rivals on Saturday afternoon in Austin.
Texas Tech is coming off an 83-73 win over No. 7 Baylor at home on Wednesday. The Red Raiders completed the season series sweep of the reigning national champions and improved to 16-0 on their home court this season.
Senior forward Kevin Obanor led a second-half comeback for Texas Tech, that rallied them from a seven-point halftime deficit. Obanor scored 21 of his season-best 23 points in the latter half, which included going 8-for-9 from the field.
“The mindset was just to be resilient,” Obanor said about the bounce-back performance in the second half. “I thank my teammates and coaching staff for just motivating me and believing in me. It could have been easy to just to put my head down, but it was just that mental toughness and grittiness to keep going. There are two halves to basketball and I know the first half was slow but to God be the glory. We came out playing hard and came out victorious.”
Super-senior forward Bryson Williams tallied 17 points and four rebounds in Texas Tech’s third win over a top-10 team this season. Williams is leading the Red Raiders in scoring with 13.5 points per game and needs only 21 more points to crack the 2,000 mark in his college career.
Texas comes into Saturday’s game, winners of three of their last four contests, including victories over Kansas and Iowa State.
The Longhorns topped Oklahoma in overtime, 80-78, their last time out on Tuesday. Seniors Timmy Allen and Andrew Jones each put up 20 points, while fellow seniors Christian Bishop and Marcus Carr added 16 apiece.
Texas coach Chris Beard hopes that his team can build off the win this weekend as they head into the final stretch before March.
“We’ve just got to find consistency,” said Beard following Tuesday’s win. “And ultimately, that’s what March is — the teams that are playing their best when it matters most. So tonight, we won the game, and now let’s see if we can get better after a win. We obviously got better after a loss the other day. Now let’s see if we can get better after a win. Only mature teams can do it. And I’m banking on these guys doing that.”
Texas Tech will be looking to sweep the season series over their intrastate rivals on Saturday. The Red Raiders took down the Longhorns, 77-64, in their first matchup in front of a record-setting 15,300 fans at home on Feb. 1.
Red Raiders redshirt junior guard Kevin McCullar scored a team-high 19 points and had six rebounds, while Obanor tallied 17 points, including five three-pointers in the first meeting.
Following Saturday’s game, Texas Tech will head back to Lubbock to play Oklahoma on Tuesday and Texas will host TCU on Wednesday.
