TEXAS TECH RED RAIDERS NEWS

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.

Pop Isaacs - Likely out Saturday Isaacs is in concussion protocol and will likely miss Saturday's game against Oklahoma, Jeff Goodman of Stadium reports.

Impact This is the first news regarding a concussion for Isaacs, but he is not expected to have a chance of suiting up until Tuesday's game at Iowa State. The freshman is averaging 11.3 points per game and shooting 42 percent from beyond the arc. In his absence, look for De'Vion Harmon to handle point guard duties.

Daniel Batcho - Game-time decision Batcho (finger) is a game-time decision for Saturday's game against Oklahoma, Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports reports.

Impact Batcho injured his finger in Texas Tech's 75-72 lsoss to Kansas on Tuesday. If he is ultimately unable to go, Robert Jennings would be the likely candidate to replace him at center, while Kevin Obanor could also see some extra run. More clarity will come closer to tip-off.

Jaylon Tyson - Nears double-double in tight loss Tyson closed Tuesday's 75-72 loss to Kansas with 10 points (4-8 FG, 2-2 3Pt), nine rebounds, three assists and three steals over 36 minutes.

Impact Tyson paced the Red Raiders in boards as the team was outrebounded 32 to 28 by the Jayhawks' relatively taller starting five. The sophomore forward also posted one of his best defensive performances of the season, matching his season highs in steals and defensive rebounds (eight). Tyson has now averaged 10.0 points, 4.8 rebounds and 1.5 steals while also converting 52.1 percent of his field-goal tries this season. He'll likely need to post another stout performance down low against Oklahoma's frontcourt on Saturday.

KJ Allen - Plays 21 minutes in Big 12 opener Allen ended Saturday's 67-61 loss to TCU with nine points (4-5 FG, 1-3 FT), five rebounds and one steal in 21 minutes.

Impact Allen matched his season high in minutes during this late loss the Horned Frogs. His solid overall production wound up being rather crucial for the Red Raiders, as leading scorer Kevin Obanor posted his worst all-around shooting performance of the season to go along with five turnovers. While Allen's only appearance on second-half box score came via one turnover and a personal foul, this solid performance is an encouraging sign for his potential contributions heading into the remainder of the conference schedule. Texas Tech's next contest will come versus No. 4 Kansas on Tuesday.

Kevin Obanor - Struggles in conference opener Obanor finished with six points (2-7 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 2-4 FT) and four rebounds in 23 minutes during Saturday's 67-61 loss to TCU.

Impact Obanor posted his worst shooting performance since the season opener against Northwestern State. The fifth-year forward also wound up playing five fewer minutes than his season average, as he coughed up a season-high five turnovers in this late loss against the Horned Frogs. This allowed backup KJ Allen to put up nine points and five rebounds while matching his season-high for minutes with 21. Obanor, who has been the Red Raiders' best player this season, will look to improve upon this bumpy start to Big 12 play when Texas Tech takes on an arguably tougher opponent in Kansas on Tuesday.

Fardaws Aimaq - Shuts down transfer rumors Aimaq (foot) announced Friday via his personal Twitter account "the only facts are I'm a red raider and will do whatever I can to be back on the court ASAP," following the recent t...

Impact It was previously noted that Aimaq could potentially transfer again and play his collegiate ball elsewhere, as he's been unable to take the court this season due to the broken foot he sustained back in September. The 6-foot-11 center has since publicized his commitment to Texas Tech's program through a social media post, and it still sounds like he'll aim for a late-December return.

DECEMBER 16, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Fardaws Aimaq - Expected to transfer Aimaq (foot) is expected to transfer from Texas Tech, Jeff Goodman of Stadium reports.

Impact Surprisingly, Aimaq could transfer again despite committing to the 2022-23 Red Raiders' season since April this year. He has sat out all of their games played until now. Despite his injured foot's protective cast being removed Monday, the improved status will not prevent him from attempting to transfer again. Aimaq averaged 16.9 points and 14.2 rebounds across two seasons he participated in while part of Utah Valley. When healthy, the senior will be a promising option to any team.
