A Home Court Advantage Secures the Win
The Texas Tech Red Raiders maintained their perfect start with a decisive 76-58 victory over the Bethune-Cookman Wildcats at United Supermarkets Arena on Thursday. The win improves Texas Tech’s record to 2-0, while the Wildcats fall to 0-2 on the season.
Before a crowd of 12,548 fans in Lubbock, Texas, the home team established dominance early and never relinquished control. The Raiders outscored their visitors in both halves, winning the first quarter 37-24 and the second quarter 39-34. The comprehensive performance highlighted the depth and efficiency of the Red Raiders’ offense.
Gibbs-Lawhorn Leads the Charge
Dra Gibbs-Lawhorn was the standout performer for Texas Tech, pouring in a game-high 25 points. His scoring output included a mix of layups, dunks, and long-range jumpers, providing the offensive spark needed to break open close contests. Gibbs-Lawhorn’s ability to score at all levels kept the Wildcats’ defense off balance throughout the night.
Supporting Gibbs-Lawhorn was Cruz Davis, who facilitated the offense with 3 assists.
