No one expected the Texas Tech basketball team to run through an 18-game Big 12 schedule unscathed. But not many expected their first conference loss to be the result of missed free throws and missed shots from inside of six feet.
In their 68-64 loss to Iowa State Wednesday night in Lubbock, the Red Raiders hit just 6-15 (40%) from the free throw line and missed seven shots from inside the paint as they failed to take advantage of their opportunities to stay perfect at home and in league play.
As usual, Jarrett Culver led the way with 20 points but his performance left quite a bit to be desired.
