Dennis, a Wyoming transfer from Texas, joined nine newcomers as the team began its 47th consecutive nonconference home win streak. Cruz Davis, another transfer, contributed 15 points, six rebounds, five assists, and a career-high six steals. All 14 nonconference games for Jackson State were played away. The Tigers struggled, shooting just 29% overall and 21% from beyond the arc. Texas Tech's Mike Williams added 11 points on the road, while Josiah Moseley contributed 13 points and eight rebounds. Dennis led a 16-2 run to close the first half, hitting a three-pointer and an alley-oop dunk from Davis.
