The Texas Tech Red Raiders - fresh off their first appearance in the AP Top 25 - downed the TCU Horned Frogs 71-57 on Wednesday night at United Supermarkets Arena in Lubbock.

T Toppin had 18 points and 14 rebounds, Chance McMillian scored 16 points and No. 22 Texas Tech beat TCU 71-57 on Wednesday night in its first game as a ranked team this season.

Brendan Wenzel is TCU's only player shooting above 34% from 3-point range. He doesn't score too often (8.7 points per game) and is only 1-of-12 from deep in his last two games, he's one Texas Tech can't afford to let get hot. Wenzel also transferred to TCU after Jeff Linder left Wyoming to be an assistant at Tech.

TCU did just enough to catch Texas Tech's attention on Wednesday. Once the 22nd-ranked Red Raiders got their wake-up call, however, they settled back in as one of the hottest teams in the Big 12 Conference.

TCU came up short once again in Lubbock as they fell to No. 22 Texas Tech 71-57. A common thread in these losses has been the poor shooting. That continued on Wednesday as the Frogs shot 5-18 (27.8%) from beyond the arc and 12-22 (54%) from the free throw line.
