MIDLAND, Texas \u2013 The HBU men’s basketball team jumped out to a quick nine-point lead but the 11th<\/sup>-ranked Texas Tech Red Raiders defeated the Huskies, 103-74<\/a>, in the Al G. Langford Chaparral Center on the campus of Midland College on Wednesday evening.<\/p>\n HBU (0-3) raced out to a 9-0 lead thanks to six points created off three turnovers in the first 2:04 of the game with Texas Tech (3-0) not getting on the board until a Davide Moretti jumper at the 17:44 mark. That Moretti bucket started a 14-0 run for the Red Raiders that was broken by an\u00a0Ian DuBose<\/a><\/dfn>\u00a0dunk with 14:24 on the clock.<\/p>\n The Red Raiders pushed that lead up to 12, 25-13, after a Jahmi’us Ramsey three but the Huskies whittled their deficit down to six, 32-26, after four points from\u00a0Ty Dalton<\/a><\/dfn>\u00a0and a free throw from\u00a0Jackson Stent<\/a><\/dfn>\u00a0with 7:11 remaining in the half. HBU wasn’t able to get any closer as TTU closed the half by out-scoring the Huskies 22-13.<\/p>\n After halftime, Texas Tech opened the second half with a 13-6 run, with HBU’s\u00a0Ryan Gomes<\/a><\/dfn>\u00a0dropping in a pair of layups, in the first 3:09 of play to go up by 22. The Red Raider lead got as high as 35 with 9:14 left and the Huskies cut that down to 27 after a pair of\u00a0Noah Thomasson<\/a><\/dfn>\u00a0free throws under the two-minute mark.<\/p>\n Senior\u00a0Jalon Gates<\/a><\/dfn>\u00a0finished with a team-best 21 points, connecting on 5-of-9 from behind the arc and 8-of-13 from the floor. He now has 14 made threes through just three games. DuBose was 6-of-14 for the game to add 17 points for the Huskies and pull down five rebounds. Junior\u00a0Philip McKenzie<\/a><\/dfn>\u00a0led HBU with six rebounds off the bench, all in the second half. Dalton added nine points while\u00a0Myles Pierre<\/a><\/dfn>\u00a0scored seven with Gomes and\u00a0Qon Murphy<\/a><\/dfn>\u00a0both contributing six.<\/p>\n The Huskies forced Texas Tech into 23 turnovers while committing 18 themselves, turning those turnovers into 20 points. The Red Raiders held a distinct 48-28 advantage on the boards and scored 56 of their points inside the paint.<\/p>\n The Huskies will have more than a week off before heading to Big Ten country to face the Michigan Wolverines inside the Crisler Center in Ann Arbor, Mich. on Friday, Nov. 22.<\/p>\n
