No. 16 Texas Tech earns 50th consecutive nonconference home win, 88-37 over Stonehill

LUBBOCK, Texas (AP) — Dakari Spear scored 22 points, while Jamichael Stillwell and Amari Barrett each had double-doubles, as No. 16 Texas Tech extended its nonconference home winning streak to a record 50 games with a 88-37 triumph over Stonehill College on Saturday. The Red Raiders (4-0) recorded double-digit point performances from six players, with Damarion Dennis, Cruz Davis and Dra Gibbs-Lawhorn contributing 13 points each.

This victory marked the team's 104th consecutive home win since December 2013, with the lone setback coming in a 76-74 overtime loss to No. 15 Kentucky on January 25, 2020. Texas Tech has been 27-0 in nonconference home games under coach Grant McCasland. In the season-opening fourth consecutive home game, the Red Raiders trailed 13-10 before scoring 18 consecutive points in the first half to seize control.

Stonehill (1-3), a Northeast Conference team, managed just eight points from their lone All-America post player JT Toppin, who is still sidelined due to an ACL injury suffered last February. Darrion Williams and Donovan Atwell were also absent from the match for precautionary measures. Texas Tech will face New Orleans in their next game on Wednesday night, while Stonehill begins a three-game homestand against New Hampshire on Wednesday.
