LAWRENCE, Kan. (AP) JT Toppin had 21 points to lead No. 10 Texas Tech to a 78-73 win over Kansas on Saturday.
It was the second win at Allen Fieldhouse (2-22) in the school’s history.
Christian Anderson had 15 points and Darrion Williams scored 14 for Texas Tech (22-7, 13-5 Big 12).
KJ Adams Jr. had 21 points for the Jayhawks (19-10, 10-8), who had multiple runs of at least six points.
The Red Raiders used a 16-2 run early in the half to turn a six-point deficit into an eight-point lead. They led 48-37 at halftime.
Texas Tech: The Red Raiders were not intimidated by Allen Fieldhouse and the raucous crowd. Despite being 1-21 all-time in the facility, the Raiders responded every time the Jayhawks made a run.
Kansas: The Jayhawks lacked a killer instinct. Even though they clawed back into the game multiple times, they couldn’t pull away.
After Kansas came all the way back to tie the game at 73-all, Williams hit a 3-pointer to give the Red Raiders the lead for good.
Texas Tech outscored Kansas 45-12 from 3-point range.
Texas Tech will host Colorado on Wednesday night, while Kansas visits No. 4 Houston on Monday night.
