MBB Can't Overcome Poor Shooting, Lose 67-54 To Texas A&M
Jaye Crockett is the leading scorer for the Red Raiders through four Big 12 games this season.
Jan. 14, 2012 Final Stats | Quotes | Notes COLLEGE STATION, Texas (AP) - Khris Middleton, Elston Turner and Naji Hibbert scored 12 points each and Texas A&M took advantage of a poor-shooting Texas Tech team to get its first Big 12 Conference win, 67-54, on Saturday. Texas A&M (10-6, 1-3) never trailed, and the Red Raiders couldn't overcome a tough start where they didn't make a field goal until more than 10 minutes into the game. Jaye Crockett's dunk with 9:44 to play in the first was the Red Raiders' first basket of the game, after starting the game 0-8 from the field. The Aggies led by 17 at halftime and used a 10-2 run punctuated by a dunk by David Loubeau to extend the lead to 44-19 with 16 minutes remaining. The win snapped a three-game skid for the Aggies and was their fifth straight over Texas Tech (7-9, 0-4). Jaye Crockett led the Red Raiders with 19 points and eight rebounds. Freshman walk-on Clark Lammert had a career best 10 points off the bench for Texas Tech as well. Despite its poor shooting, the Red Raiders dominated the boards for the second straight Big 12 road game, as Texas Tech out-rebounded Texas A&M, 36-28. The men of the High Plains also out-rebounded Oklahoma State in Stillwater, 38-27.
