Texas Tech beat Kansas 79-50 Monday night at United Supermarkets Arena 6. It was Tech's first top-10 win, an immediate highlight on the Red Raiders' NCAA Tournament resume.
Here are three episodes of the game.
Derrion Williams is having a dynamite night.
Williams' best night of the season came early in the second half when he hit a corner 3-pointer against the Jayhawks, a 3-pointer that pushed his total to a career-high 18 points on 7-out -7 shooting points increased.
Williams, the 2023 Mountain West Conference Offensive Player of the Year, showed flashes of potential throughout the season but couldn't live up to it all. He did it against Kansas.
Williams finished the night with 30 points and 10 rebounds on 12-of-12 shooting for his sixth double-double of the season and second in as many games.

The Red Raiders overcame their biggest deficit of the season to claim the comeback victory 42-26.
Tech won the exclusive floor of the house
