The Red Raiders were short-handed as standout forward Darrion Williams was ruled out just before tip-off. But even without their third-leading scorer and second-leading rebounder, Texas Tech (16-4, 7-2) had more than enough offense to pull away from TCU (10-10, 3-6) in the second half.

Brendan Wenzel is TCU's only player shooting above 34% from 3-point range. He doesn't score too often (8.7 points per game) and is only 1-of-12 from deep in his last two games, he's one Texas Tech can't afford to let get hot. Wenzel also transferred to TCU after Jeff Linder left Wyoming to be an assistant at Tech.

T Toppin had 18 points and 14 rebounds, Chance McMillian scored 16 points and No. 22 Texas Tech beat TCU 71-57 on Wednesday night in its first game as a ranked team this season.
