The win highlighted a decisive rebounding gap for BYU as JT Toppin’s absence continues to strain Texas Tech’s interior.

Overview

  • Robert Wright III scored 27 points, including 23 after halftime, fueling a late push that turned an eight-point deficit into a home upset.
  • Kennard Davis Jr. hit a go-ahead corner 3 in the final two minutes before Wright sealed the result at the free-throw line.
