TEXAS TECH RED RAIDERS NEWS

Jaylon Tyson - Posts first double-double Tyson supplied 12 points (5-9 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 1-2 FT), 14 rebounds and one assist across 37 minutes before fouling out of Saturday's 72-70 loss to Texas.

Impact Tyson logged the first double-double of his career thanks to his career-high 14 boards. The 6-foot-7 sophomore had to serve a big role on the boards with 6-foot-6 junior KJ Allen (leg) missing his third game in a row Saturday. Tyson has now posted double-digit points in eight of his 16 starts this season, as he's converted 47.9 of his 7.4 field-goal tries per game. Tyson will likely continue to play an increased role so long as Allen remains sidelined moving forward.

Fardaws Aimaq - Probable vs. Texas Tech Aimaq (foot) is probable before the Red Raiders host Texas on Saturday, according to Carlos Silva Jr. of the Lubbock Avalanche-Journal.

Impact There is a good chance that when Texas Tech's head coach Mark Adams said Aimaq would be "playing in the next couple of games," he included the upcoming matchup. After a litany of transfer rumors and confusion surrounding his injury, those could all be put to bed when he likely plays and receives limited minutes against Texas on Saturday.

KJ Allen - DNP at Iowa State Allen (leg) did not play during Texas Tech's 84-50 loss Tuesday at Iowa State.

Impact Despite him warming up again Tuesday, Allen's injured leg required a multi-game absence. The team plays against and at Texas on Saturday. That day is Allen's next opportunity to return, which should be probable.

Daniel Batcho - Plays 32 minutes in return Batcho ended with four points (2-4 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 0-1 FT), three rebounds, one assist and three blocks across 32 minutes during Tuesday's 84-50 loss to Iowa State.

Impact Batcho struggled to contribute for Texas Tech, logging just four points, three rebounds, and three blocks during Tuesday's loss to Iowa State. The 6-foot-11 sophomore has started in 12 games this season, logging 11.2 points, 7.8 rebounds, 1.4 assists and 2.1 blocks on 27.4 minutes per game. Batcho, who has averaged just four points and six rebounds across his last three appearances, will look to get back on track against Texas on Saturday.

Fardaws Aimaq - Return timetable updated Aimaq (foot) is hopefully "playing in the next couple of games" according to head coach Mark Adams, Carlos Silva Jr. of the Lubbock Avalanche-Journal reports.

Impact Aimaq was expected to be a major contributor to Texas Tech as one of the top center transfers in the country after averaging a double-double with Utah Valley State a season ago. His season hit a major roadblock before it even began, however, as a foot injury has prevented him for suiting up for a single contest. He then had to shut down a whirlwind of transfer rumors, but now it finally appears as if he's nearing a return. The Red Raiders need it badly after getting blown out by Iowa State on Tuesday to fall to 0-4 in Big 12 play. Rebounding has been one of the main issues, as Texas Tech is in the conference's bottom-3 with respect to defensive rebounding rate -- an issue the 6-11 center's return would immediately address.

Pop Isaacs - Struggles in return Isaacs supplied 10 points (3-13 FG, 1-9 3Pt, 3-3 FT), two rebounds, three assists and three steals in 32 minutes during Tuesday's 84-50 loss to Iowa State.

Impact Isaacs converted just 3-of-13 shots, finishing with 10 points and three steals during his return on Tuesday. The 6-foot-2 freshman, who suffered a concussion last week, was inefficient in his return on Tuesday. Isaacs has started in 15 games this season, logging 11.2 points, two rebounds, 2.7 assists and 1.4 steals on 28.3 minutes per game. Isaacs and Red Raiders will look to back on track when they face off with Texas on Saturday.

Impact Even without an overtime, Washington would have played more Saturday than during other games he participated in during 2022. 2023 is a promising year for the freshman. Richard Isaacs (concussion) will not have played every Raiders game, and they expect De'Vion Harmon to graduate.

JANUARY 8, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

De'Vion Harmon - Posts season high in overtime Harmon notched 23 points (9-15 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 5-7 FT), four rebounds, three assists and one steal over 43 minutes during Saturday's 68-63 OT loss to Oklahoma.

Impact Harmon stepped up with starting point guard Richard Isaacs (concussion) sitting out versus Oklahoma. The starting guard logged a season high in made field goals during this extended outing. This helped make up star forward Kevin Obanor's paltry 5-of-17 shooting performance with the Red Raiders' third-leading scorer and center Daniel Batcho (finger) also sidelined Saturday. Harmon has now hit 46.9 percent of his 9.7 field-goal attempts per game this season, and he's averaging his highest points per game (12.4) since the 2020-21 campaign with Oklahoma.

JANUARY 8, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Daniel Batcho - Won't play Saturday Batcho (finger) is in street clothes and is not warming up ahead of Saturday's 7:00 pm E.T. game against Oklahoma, Carlos Silva Jr. of the Lubbock Avalanche-Journal reports.

Impact Batcho appeared to dislocate his right ring finger during Tuesday's loss to Texas Tech, making him a game-time decision heading into Sunday's game. However, his lack of participation pregame should all but confirm that he'll now miss at least one contest due to this injury. Batcho has recorded 11.8 points and 8.2 rebounds across 12 games with 11 starts this season, and his absence should leave KJ Allen and Robert Jennings to take on bigger roles alongside 6-foot-8 forward Kevin Obanor.
