Darrion Williams and the Texas Tech basketball team bounced back in a big way to manhandle Utah for their first Big 12 win of the season.

Texas Tech earned a fourth Big 12 road victory with a 71-61 win over Cincinnati at Fifth-Third Arena. The Red Raiders (14-4, 5-2 in Big 12) had control of the ballgame from the jump, always finding an answer for runs from the Bearcats en route to the win.

JT Toppin scored a game-high 20 points and grabbed seven rebounds while Christian Anderson added 18 points to lead the visiting Texas Tech Red Raiders to an 81-71 Big 12 win over the host Cincinnati Bearcats Tuesday night.

A quad-1 win was not in the cards Tuesday night for the Cincinnati Bearcats. On one of their better shooting nights of the season, the Bearcats ran into a team that was counting by threes instead of twos.
