LUBBOCK, Texas -- Keenan Evans scored 23 points, Justin Gray had his first career double-double and Texas Tech won its sixth straight, 89-46 over Nicholls State on Wednesday night.Gray finished with 18 points and 11 rebounds for the Red Raiders (9-1), who shot 55 percent and outrebounded the Colonels 43-18. Zach Smith and Niem Stevenson added 13 points apiece.Im not forcing it as much anymore, Evans said. Just letting the game come to me. Just letting it work through the offense.The Colonels (5-6) were led by 18 points and five rebounds from Jahvaughn Powell.Texas Techs (9-1) first half was punctuated by consecutive putback dunks from Gray and Smith. After Smiths dunk, which put Texas Tech up 33-15 with 6:22 left in the first half, the Colonels immediately took a timeout. Gray -- who recently returned to the team after attending his grandfathers funeral -- added another explosive putback dunk less than two minutes later, helping build the Red Raiders 45-23 halftime lead.I feel like we fed off it pretty good, Gray said of the dunks. Got the crowd into it. Especially during the timeout right after the first one. Everybody was kind of hyped up and it just made our overall environment in the arena crazy.Nicholls State shot 34 percent from the floor and lost the points off turnover margin 33-13 despite have just six more giveaways.The Red Raiders, which outscored Nicholls State in the paint 34-6, committed six fouls. The Colonels attempted six free throws while Texas Tech attempted 25.In our league, we cant let people get in the bonus early in the halves, Texas Tech coach Chris Beard said. Not fouling is a big emphasis. We try to emphasize it in practice. We try to coach it well. I think we do.BIG PICTURENicholls State: The first game in Richie Rileys tenure as head coach of the Colonels was a 79-73 win at Atlantic Coast Conference-member Boston College in November but they have won consecutive games only once this season.Texas Tech: Smith was back in the starting lineup Wednesday. Smith, who averaged 11 points and seven rebounds, injured his ankle before the Dec. 7 game against Texas-San Antonio and was held out. Smiths presence aided the Red Raiders frontcourt, which saw recently-recovered Aaron Ross play sparingly and is still missing Norense Odiase because of an injury.TORRID 12Big 12 mens basketball teams have started the season with a combined 75-17 record. Ten of those losses were by single digits, including three in overtime.BIG DAYFor the first time in Big 12 history, its teams beat two top-five non-conference opponents on the same day when Kansas beat No. 1 Duke and Baylor beat No. 4 Oregon on Nov. 15.FAMILIARLY FOREIGNNicholls State has three players that hail from outside the United States: Luka Kamber (Germany), Liam Thomas (Australia) and Zach Young (New Zealand).UP NEXTNicholls State, which has played three Power 5 opponents this season, has two more games before it begins Southland Conference play. It hosts Mobile on Dec. 18.Texas Tech, starting with a game at Richmond on Saturday, has two more games before Big 12 play starts.Its a game that (former Texas Tech head coach Tubby Smith) scheduled, Beard said. I think they had Richmond here last year. Right when I got the job and saw the schedule, I loved the game. Richmond is an NCAA-tournament type team. Adidas Nmd Danmark . The judges scored it 48-47, 48-47, 49-46 for Jones (19-1). It was the champions closest call. Despite the loss, it was a remarkable show by the confident Swedish challenger, who had the best of the early rounds and then hung on in the fourth and fifth. Adidas Nmd Sko Dame . Wilson hit Schenn from behind during Tuesday nights game in Philadelphia, earning a five-minute major for charging and a game misconduct. He has a phone hearing with the department of player safety, which limits any potential suspension to five or fewer games. http://www.dknmdskotilbud.com/adidas-basketball-sko-outlet-danmark.html .ca!

Westbrook has missed 27 games since having a procedure on Dec. 27 to deal with swelling in his injured right knee — the third operation on the knee in nine months. The oddest thing about the first half of the 2016 college football season is that so little odd happened at the top. Alabama? Ohio State? Clemson? Michigan? All predicted to be at the top before the season, all still undefeated. Washington, everyones favorite preseason dark horse, has more than fulfilled the faith of the smart guys. There remains room for surprise at the top of several division races. At this point, whoever wins the Pac-12 South, the SEC East or the ACC Coastal will be a surprise. And as dominant as the five programs mentioned above have been, history tells us that the Ohio State-Michigan loser wont be the only one to stumble.1. Quarterbacks are arriving onto college campuses more prepared to play than ever, and the top 10 is full of teams with quarterbacks in their first or second year. Two of the top contenders in the Heisman race are sophomores Lamar Jackson of Louisville and Jake Browning of Washington. Redshirt freshman Alex Hornibrook provided a spark for Wisconsin, and Deondre Francois has played well for Florida State. The biggest surprise has been the ease with which freshman Jalen Hurts has taken over the Alabama offense. He has a presence, and Crimson Tide offensive coordinator Lane Kiffin has put Hurts in position to succeed.2. Coaching candidates for the College Football Hall of Fame must have a career winning percentage of .600 over at least 10 years. It is the essence of the Bill Parcells axiom that you are what your record says you are. Purdues decision Sunday to fire Darrell Hazell, who went 9-33 in three-plus seasons, made me think again about Joe Tiller, the only coach to win even a share of the Big Ten at Purdue since 1967. Tiller went 126-92-1 (.578) at Wyoming (1991-96) and at Purdue (1997-2008). He went 87-62 (.584), an average of 7-5, at Purdue. Anywhere else, meh. With the Boilermakers, very good. Tiller is a good example of why the Hall of Fame should grade candidates on a curve.3. Ohio State won its 20th consecutive road game by beating Wisconsin on the same day that Kansas lost its 38th consecutive road game, an FBS record. But lets talk about the Buckeyes remarkable streak. It includes only three games against nonleague opponents (bowl games not included): California in 2013, Virginia Tech in 2015 and Oklahoma this year. It might be harder to maintain a road winning streak against conference foes that know your tendencies. And Ohio State is more willing to go on the road than most SEC teams. But it would be even more impressive if the Buckeyes streak included more nonleague road games. Home-and-home deals among the Power 5 are becoming an artifact.4. If this isnt a first, it hasnt happened in a long time. Stanfford senior field goal kicker Conrad Ukropina has made 7-of-10 field goal attempts this season, and all three misses have hit the left upright.dddddddddddd The 45-yarder that Ukropina missed on the Cardinals opening drive at Notre Dame on Saturday night bounced off the top of the upright, a good reminder that the ball must sail inside the uprights and the imaginary lines that extend upward from them. Ukropina made 18-of-20 field goal attempts last season, including the buzzer-beater that beat Notre Dame, 38-36. On an offense that scored only on a fumble recovery in the end zone against the Irish, Ukropina is critical to Stanfords hope of salvaging this season.5. The ever-conspiratorial fans of the SEC believe its no accident that the member which is closest geographically to the league office in Birmingham is the University of Alabama. And Crimson Tide fans are just as sure to bet that the league is biased against their team in the way it schedules games. The fans might have a greater case. As our Stats & Info data miners say, Texas A&M is the 28th opponent in Nick Sabans 10 seasons in Tuscaloosa to have an idle week before playing the Tide. No other SEC team in that period has had more than 16.6. Two weeks from the College Football Playoff Selection Committees first ratings, the last two unbeaten Group of 5 teams, the Boise State Broncos of the Mountain West and the Western Michigan Broncos of the MAC, look like dual Cinderellas. Both teams have two Power 5 victories, Washington State and Oregon State for the former; Northwestern and Illinois for the latter. Boise State (6-0), which never trailed this year until Colorado State went up 3-0 on Saturday, will have an edge in schedule strength once it plays BYU on Thursday night. WMUs (7-0) efficiency will appeal to the committees veteran coaches. The eastern Broncos didnt commit their first turnover until Saturday.7. Every year there is a coordinator or two demoted or fired at midseason. Two coaches this season are showing those setbacks are not permanent. Dino Babers, who had the offense taken from him at Texas A&M in 2001, is the first-year head coach at Syracuse, which knocked Virginia Tech out of the top 25, 31-17, Saturday. Manny Diaz, fired as defensive coordinator at Texas in mid-2013, has the same job this season under Mark Richt at Miami, which is giving up only 14 points per game. It took Babers eight years to become a coordinator again; Diaz went from Texas to Louisiana Tech. Both men understood that everyone in coaching gets knocked down. The trick is getting back up. ' ' '
