No. 13 Baylor men’s basketball downs No. 23 Texas Tech 79-73 in McCasland’s return to Waco

By Foster Nicholas | Sports Writer

Two games through a three-game stretch against ranked opponents, No. 13 Baylor men’s basketball extended its winning streak to three, knocking off No. 23 Texas Tech 79-73 on Tuesday night at Foster Pavilion.

Albeit under the weather, Red Raiders (16-6, 5-4 Big 12) head coach Grant McCasland made his return to Waco to take on Bears head coach Scott Drew for the first time as Big 12 foes. With Drew and Baylor (17-5, 6-3 Big 12) coming off a roller coaster weekend, the Bears keyed on locking in.

Texas Tech head coach Grant McCasland, a Baylor graduate, played on the Bears' men's basketball team from 1995-99 and was one of Baylor head coach Scott Drew's assistants from 2011-16.
