Grant McCasland’s offseason approach is good practice for watching his offense. Things may move slow, but everything is going to be purposeful, planned and deliberate. Things may not move at the pace you or I enjoy, but until the results prove him wrong, I’m trusting the process.

Before tonight, Robert Lewandowski's 9 shots were the most a Red Raider had taken in a game without missing since 2010.

Warren Washington played 19 minutes and had 9 of his 11 points, as well as 7 of his 8 rebounds in the second half. He also made 5 of Tech's first 7 shots to start the half. Played his best basketball when it mattered most, even when he ran out of gas. Really impressive stuff.

Texas Tech is 8-0 this season in games where Kerwin Walton has played 10 or more minutes.
