Texas Tech Destroys East Central 167-115, 282 Points Combined


Looking at the boxscores from last night's college basketball games, one game might stand out from the rest. Texas Tech 167, East Central 115. The most combined points in Texas Tech history, and probably East Central too. East Central University is located in Ada, Oklahoma, 88 miles southeast of Oklahoma City.

Ten players from the Red Raiders were in double figures, led by Trevor Cook's 20 points on 9-13 shooting as they shattered Bob Knight's record of 119 and a the school record of 128. They also shot 59.3% from the floor and 52 % from beyond the arc. The legendary Knight only topped 100 points five times with the team. His son, Pat, just beat him by 48 points.

Texas Tech Players in Double Figures:

Trevor Cook, 20
Adam Voskuil, 17
John Roberson, 17
Mike Singletary, 16
Wally Dunn, 16
Nick Okorie, 15
D'Walyn Roberts, 13
Michael Prince, 12
Darko Cohadarevic, 12
Rogdrick Craig, 11

Dontae Figgs led the Tigers with 19 points. Texas Tech also had 62 rebounds and 18 steals. Twenty-four of the rebounds were offensive. Unfortunately, one player from the team didn't score with 18 minutes of play. Tyree Graham went 0-5 from the field and was the only player from the game not to score.
