LUBBOCK, Texas — The No. 10 Texas Tech Red Raiders are set to finish out their regular season with a road trip up to Brigham Young University to face the Cougars, looking for a quick turnaround after their three-game winning streak was snapped at the hands of the TCU Horned Frogs this past Tuesday.

Despite the loss, the Red Raiders still hold a ranking of tenth after their massive victory over the then No. 4-ranked Iowa State Cyclones, and all but confirmed to have a spot in the NCAA Tournament, even without JT Toppin in the starting lineup after tearing his ACL on February 17.

The two teams will clash for the second time this season, as the Red Raiders successfully defended their home court in Lubbock with an 84-71 win over the Cougars back in mid-January.

The Red Raiders are led in scoring and assists by Christian Anderson, with 19.1 and 7.7, respectively, and includes a 31-point showing against the Cincinnati Bearcats last week and a 22-point display during Tech's first meeting with BYU.

The Cougars will be looking to snap a three-game losing skid to finish out the year, and will likely need a masterclass performance in the Big 12 Tournament to sniff the NCAA Tournament.

Luckily, they have the nation's leading scorer in the college basketball world, freshman forward AJ Dybantsa, who currently sits with an average of 24.8 points, to boost their offense, despite the fact that they are 4-8 since their last confrontation with the Red Raiders.

Tech, however, was able to limit Dybantsa's production during their first meeting, holding him to a season-low 13 points, something that will definitely be a key to victory for the team if they want to sweep the two games against their conference foes.
