LUBBOCK, Texas – No. 16 Texas Tech threw the first blows to establish a 20-point halftime lead, withstood second-half body shots and stood victorious in the center of the ring celebrating with its fans after taking an 84-78 win over No. 3 Illinois on Tuesday at United Supermarkets Arena. The win extends a 49 game non-conference home winning streak and is the highest ranked non-conference home win in Red Raider history.
