Texas Tech overcomes slow start in dominating win over Houston Baptist

Michael C. Johnson-USA TODAY Sports For about four minutes it looked like Texas Tech might be in trouble vs. Houston Baptist in Midland. The Red Raiders gave the ball away on almost every possession in the opening minutes, which allowed Houston Baptist to create a 9-0 lead in only two minutes and five seconds. Tech responded well, going on a 12-0 run themselves and eventually a 25-4 run over the course of only five minutes. The Red Raiders would continue to build on their lead throughout the half, with turnovers being the only hindering force on the offense. At the half Tech led 54-39 thanks to an outstanding effort by Jahmi’us Ramsey (20 points) and a 16 assist effort from the entire team. The team shot over 60% from the field in the first half, with the turnovers being the only thing keeping the game in reach for the Huskies.
